Sean McGee has spent his life hustling to make it in the business of sports. His journey has taken him from minor league baseball, to NPSL soccer with Kingston Stockade, to coaching College basketball, to business development with the Tampa Bay Lightning, and finally, to the Sarasota Paradise in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. For those keeping track at home, Sarasota Paradise will be moving up to USL League One for the 2026 season and is busy gearing up for USL League Two play this Summer. We talk to Sean about what it will take to build the project up to the professional level for next Summer.
We are excited to have Dennis Crowley on the podcast to talk about the NPSL squad he founded, called Kingston Stockade FC. Dennis is someone that likes to build things. Things that bring people together and build communities. Whether that's building Foursquare – which currently has 50 million active users – or Street FC – which connects people that are interested in playing pick-up street soccer – or building Kingston Stockade FC – which is an NPSL team that plays in the North Atlantic Conference that has been around since 2016 and is the reason we have him on today. We talk about Dennis' method of "Open Source Soccer", the beginnings of the club, and the future of the club.
Dennis is a guest we have wanted to have for a long time. His "Open Source Soccer" concept was a catalyst for so many in US lower league soccer today, including ourselves. In this conversation, we talk set up nightmares, on-field success, off-field trials, and there is an unseemly amount of talk about folding t-shirts. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/buildit/support

Dennis Crowley didn't just start a soccer team. He created a laboratory for "open-source soccer." He shares business and financial info on his NPSL club, the Kingston Stockade, on Medium. And though Kingston might not be the likeliest market to have a club that would climb an open pyramid to Division I, he has become one of the most thoughtful (or reasonable, if you like) advocates of promotion/relegation. In this conversation, we talk about the challenges of putting together a pyramid in the lower divisions. Yes, there's more than "U.S. Soccer stinks," though he argues the federation could be doing more to facilitate change and stability. And at the end, he shares his experience of seeing the Stockade make their Open Cup debut. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ranting-soccer-dad/support

Nate and Dike return on the latest episode of the SoccerNation Podcast to break down the weekend that was in soccer and cast an eye forward to what is around the corner. The conversation kicks off with a brief recap of the Community Shield on Sunday which Arsenal won using the new ABBA format for kicks from the mark, before spinning into Premier League predictions. Who stays up? Who finishes in the top 4? Who takes home the crown? Listen and learn. Talk then shifts to Club Tijuana's 3-0 loss to Monterrey in the third week of Liga MX 2017 Apertura action. Chacho Coudet's men have looked meek and mild under the Argentine's guidance with each defeat leaking more and more goals. The bright side? There are more games coming thick and fast, giving Los Xolos ample opportunity to get back on track. The guys then shift gears and dive into what is easily the most polarizing conversation in American soccer. Promotion and Relegation. On August 3rd, two American teams, Kingston Stockade of the NPSL and Miami FC of the NASL filed a suit with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against FIFA for failing to impose their rules regarding pro/rel on US Soccer. We examine what the landscape looks like today and take a look at where things could go with this lawsuit in play. Stay tuned to SoccerNation.com for the latest news from all around!
Dennis Crowley co-founded the app Foursquare, but in 2015 he turned his attention to the lower levels of American soccer. On the new Planet Futbol Podcast, Crowley speaks with Grant Wahl about his experiences starting NPSL club Kingston Stockade from scratch, the team's relative success in the New York area, and how the American soccer system needs to change in order to create more opportunity for small, locally-focused clubs.
