As timing goes, launching a new youth soccer club in the state of Delaware during a global pandemic isn’t exactly ideal.

“Coming into this and trying to start a brand new soccer club during a pandemic is an interesting thing to try to pull off,” said Erik Temple, college advisory director and director of coaching for boys zone 2 in a Zoom call last month.
