Centenary College Training Session
Centenary College will host a free training session for all BRSC and LATDP Elite 2024/25 graduates at Burbank Soccer Park on Monday, October 9 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. The session is free of charge to the first thirty boys and thirty girls to register.
The Centenary College Men’s Head Coach Kevin Wright and Assistant Coach Tommy Haney will lead the boy’s training. Centenary Women’s Head Coach Morgan Dorsey will oversee the girl’s session. Coaches will run the players through a free hour-and-a-half training session on fields 20 and 21 at Our Lady of the Lake Fields at Burbank Soccer Complex. The final 30 minutes will be a Q&A session for players. The session will be recorded and sent to the players within a week following the session.
Players are encouraged to bring a printed resume to the session. All other essential equipment, including a properly inflated ball, is required.
Please register as soon as possible. We may be able to accommodate additional players with advanced notice.
BRSC and LATDP Elite Collegiate Coordinator Craig Scott will contact players on or prior to Friday, October 6 to confirm successful registrations.

SCP Overview
Additional Rec. Weekly Training
Get additional training sessions under the direction of BRSC staff coaches in BRSC Rec Plus. Rec Plus allows recreational players (4-16) the opportunity to attend one or two sessions with the BRSC Academy Program at the Burbank Campus.
It is the perfect opportunity for recreational players to receive additional training during the season to work on skills not typically covered in team practices. BRSC Rec Plus training sessions will help expand the player’s understanding of the game and focus on age-appropriate skills and tactics.
The cost for a recreational player to attend one training session (on Tuesday or Thursday) for ten (10) weeks, in addition to the recreational fee, is $185. The cost for a player to attend two training sessions on both Tuesday and Thursday each week for ten (10) weeks is $285. Recreational teams can also choose to participate as a group. It’s a great way to get in extra training sessions under the professional tutelage of certified coaches.
Please note that Rec Plus is a separate registration from BRSC Recreational Soccer. Players who wish to participate in both must register for both programs.

Our approach helps build the foundation of confident, creative players who are prepared to advance into a competitive atmosphere upon completion of the program.

Player Kit:
Academy players train in an all-black kit that is available for purchase at Third Coast Soccer on Perkins. All kits must include the Sherman & Balhoff sponsor logo on the front. All players will wear these uniforms for training and competitions. Due to the frequency of training, we advise that you purchase more than one jersey.
Please get in touch with Academy Director Andy Smothermon with questions.
Players wishing to participate in one or two BRSC Academy sessions at our Burbank Campus (Tuesday and/or Thursday) while participating in BRSC Recreational leagues can register for BRSC Rec Plus. Rec Plus is a separate registration from BRSC Academy and BRSC Recreational Soccer. The cost is $185 for one session per week and $285 for two sessions.
Become a Referee
As the game of soccer continues to grow in Louisiana, we have a need for committed, knowledgeable, and well-trained referees. Quality referees are an essential part of player development. It also serves as an opportunity to earn a decent wage with a flexible schedule while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and making life-long friends.
The process to become a referee is simple but does require several steps before you can begin. Step 1 is to register and complete a background check. Please select the state in which you would like to complete your referee certification. The background check is for candidates over the age of 18. This process can take a few days.
After registering and submitting your background check, there will be online coursework. This process typically takes 4-5 hours. Next, you will need to attend the field training.
