Podcast 249 - Rush Union Soccer at Brook Run - Neil McNab
Rush Union Soccer has done an incredible job utilizing the new fields at Brook Run. The Webers spend a lot of time there, and we love the family atmosphere that the City and the Club have developed. I play in the over-40 league there on Mondays, and my boys practice there 4 nights a week during the season and we're there for games on weekends. I wanted to have Neil back on the show to share his experience with Dunwoody over the last few years, and to share all of the new stuff going on with Rush Union.
