Welcome back to the Pyramid ladies and gentlemen. Thanks to the gents over in Mobile, I got connected over the last couple of weeks with a man named Jonathan Rednour. Now Jonathan is the commissioner of the Louisiana Premier League. Currently the league featuers five teams from across the state and is looking to add more, not just in Louisiana, but throughout the deep south. I got to ask him the league, how Louisiana fits into the soccer landscape, and learn about the challenges of starting a soccer team from scratch, even if it’s an amateur one. Interview after the break
American Pyramid: Welcome to American Pyramid Mr Rednour. Tell me a little bit about yourself. Who you are, where you’re from, what your role is with the Louisiana Premier League.
Jonathan Rednour: I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Raised in a small town about 30 miles west of the city called Laplace. I’m the store manager at Third Coast Soccer’s Metairie location and coach high school soccer on the side. I sit on the executive board as Adult Competitions Commissioner for the Louisiana Soccer Association. My role with the LPL (Louisiana Premier League) is I am the LSA rep who oversees the league, so technically the “commish”.
