Rusty Bryant and Scott Taylor, President and Vice President, respectively, of Brilla Soccer Club spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at the Rotary club’s October 3, 2017 meeting. They discussed how Brilla was formed in Clinton, MS as an outreach ministry focused on soccer programs. Brilla sponsors a Premier Development League Program for young men wanting to pursue a career in professional soccer, an Urban Soccer League, and youth soccer for boys and girls. Bryant said that Three of Brilla’s alumni are currently playing high level soccer, two in the MLS and one in Spain.
Taylor discussed that Brilla is a Christian ministry that uses soccer as a vehicle. Brilla was formed under the umbrella of a similar program in Memphis that uses basketball as its vehicle.
