BRSC Capitals 2026 Roster
The BRSC Capitals are set for the 2026 season with a roster that blends proven talent and rising stars, building on the momentum of last year’s finals appearance. Featuring several returning standouts alongside an exciting wave of young players from the BRSC Competitive pathway and the Louisiana Elite MLS NEXT Academy program, this group reflects both continuity and the club’s commitment to developing the next generation of high-level talent.
With experience, athleticism, and a hunger to take the next step, the Capitals enter the new campaign with clear intent. “We didn’t bring this group together to be satisfied with last year,” said new Head Coach Sean LeBlanc. “There’s talent here, no question, but more importantly, there’s an edge. We expect to set the tone every time we step on the field and make it clear we’re the team to beat.”

2026–2027 Competitive Player Placement Process Registration
The Baton Rouge Soccer Club Competitive Program Player Placement Process (PPP) is approaching, and all players wishing to participate in the 2026–2027 competitive season must register for tryouts.
This year marks an important transition as youth soccer across the United States moves from birth-year age groups to school-year age groups. Because of this shift, registration for the Player Placement Process under the school-year format is required for all players seeking placement for the upcoming season.
Even if a player plans to attend sessions with their traditional birth-calendar-year (BCY) group, registration for the new school-calendar-year (SCY) Player Placement Process is still mandatory in order to be considered for team placement.
If you have questions about the Player Placement Process or are interested in joining the BRSC Competitive Program, please contact Marvin Smith and Kevin Hoeprich.
Why Registration Is Required
The Player Placement Process allows BRSC coaches to evaluate the entire player pool and build teams that best support each player’s development and competitive experience.
During the two-day evaluation, our coaching staff assesses players through training activities and small-sided games. Evaluations focus on the five key components of soccer development:
Technical Ability
Skill proficiency and comfort with the ball.
Technical Speed
The ability to execute skills effectively at game speed.
Tactical Application
Understanding of time and space, movement with and without the ball, field vision, and the ability to combine with teammates.
Physical Attributes
Speed, strength on the ball, tackling, and shielding.
Psychological Dimensions
Competitiveness, work ethic, coachability, and interaction with teammates.
Players receive a numbered bib during the process so staff members can evaluate performance objectively throughout the sessions.
How Players Are Placed
BRSC coaches review Player Placement Process evaluations along with season-long coach feedback and team depth charts when determining placements.
Players are grouped based on:
-
PPP evaluation scores
-
Coaching staff observations
-
Team needs within each age group
-
Long-term player development considerations
The club also uses the PPP to evaluate the size and level of each player pool and determine coaching assignments and staffing needs for the upcoming season.
School-Year and Birth-Year Participation
Players may attend sessions with their previous birth-year group, but the final placement decision will be made by BRSC based on what is believed to be in the best developmental interest of both the player and the team.
Players MUST register with their School-Calendar-Year Player Placement Process in order to be considered for placement
Players who do not attend school-year Player Placement sessions may still be placed with their school calendar-year team, but participation in the school-year format ensures the coaching staff has the most accurate and current evaluation when forming teams.
Player Placement Dates
All Player Placement Processes/tryouts will take place from 6:00-7:30 pm. Check-in will begin at 5:20 pm.
