    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

      <title>New Leadership Structure</title>
      <link>https://www.burlingtonfc.org/new-leadership-structure</link>
      <description>Burlington FC introduces a new leadership structure designed to improve communication, strengthen support, and create greater accountability across the club.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          BFC introduces new leadership structure to strengthen communication and support.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          As Burlington FC continues to grow, the Board of Directors has approved a new leadership structure designed to provide clearer communication, stronger support for families and coaches, and greater accountability across all areas of the club. For the 2026–27 season, BFC will transition from a single Executive Director model to a leadership team consisting of a Program Director, Club Operations Manager, and Technical Director. This structure creates dedicated leadership across the club's three core areas:
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

          Program Leadership
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          Kyle Marlow will serve as
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Interim

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

          Club Operations
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          Alison Kaiser will serve as Club Operations Manager, leading registrations, scheduling, facilities, tournaments, club systems, and administrative operations to ensure a smooth experience for players, families, and coaches.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          Technical Leadership
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          Dan Versace will serve as Technical Director, providing club-wide leadership for player development, coaching standards, team formation, and competition planning across both the girls and boys programs.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
           By clearly defining responsibilities and decision-making authority, BFC aims to provide a more organized, responsive, and consistent experience for players, families, coaches, and volunteers. The new structure also creates clear points of contact for soccer-related, operational, and program-wide questions, making it easier for families to connect with the right person when they need support. (See
          &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           Who Do I Contact?
          &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          )
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          This change reflects Burlington FC's ongoing commitment to player development, meaningful competition, expanding access to the game, and building a strong community for everyone connected to the club. Additional information, including staff responsibilities and communication pathways, will be shared throughout the summer as we prepare for the 2026–27 season.

          This July, players across all age groups will have the opportunity to participate in Open House sessions and competitive tryouts as we begin building teams for the Fall and Winter/Spring seasons. Our goal is to create challenging, competitive environments where every player is placed in the right setting to develop, compete, and grow.
         &#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          This year also marks an important change as US Youth Soccer transitions to school-year age group registration, aligning teams more closely with academic grade levels.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Open House and Tryout sessions will be held July 7–15 at Calahan Park and Centennial Field. Players are encouraged to attend all scheduled evaluation sessions whenever possible.
