Appalachian FC kicks off its inaugural season in the National Premier Soccer League May 1. Throughout the two-month season, Appalachian FC will play 10 Southeast Conference matches before the postseason.
Appalachian FC will play all home games at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex in Boone with kickoffs at 7 p.m.
Head coach Dale Parker says it’s been a fun process preparing for the upcoming season.
“I like it. I enjoy it. I enjoy the pressure of people wanting this program to win,” Parker said.
He said there are positives to working in an environment without as much pressure to win.
