BIRMINGHAM, AL - Birmingham Legion FC today announced the formation of the Legion FC D-League, a developmental youth soccer league for boys and girls. The league joins boys and girls teams playing in U9, U10, and U11 divisions from six local youth clubs (Birmingham United Soccer Association, Briarwood Soccer Club, Homewood Soccer Club, Hoover Soccer Club, Trussville United Soccer Club, and Vestavia Hills Soccer Club) and begin play in the Fall of 2019.
"Our club is fully committed to the growth of the game and the development of young players," said Legion FC President and General Manager Jay Heaps.
