This is right behind the security desk where you sign in so should be more convenient.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: Please allow ample time as new procedures require that you stop at security guard gate when driving in, to get a parking pass to park in deck.\n\n\n\n\n\nAstronaut Larry DeLucas is keynote speaker.\u00a0 We also have a brief overview of the new Birmingham Legion Soccer professional team. https:\/\/www.bhmlegion.com<\/a>.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSCS\/SNC Retirees have a special connection to star player Chandler Hoffman\u2014the first player signed to Birmingham Legion FC. The two-time All-USL standout forward and Birmingham’s native son is the son of Jon Hoffman, manager in Southern Company Services IT SNC Applications group.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAs those who have children and grandchildren in youth sports can attest, reaching the professional levels is a decades-long grueling process involving the entire family in the exhilaration, discipline, and grit required. \u00a0One youth league soccer parent recalled that \u201cEven as a 10-year-old player, Chandler was exceptional, just thrilling to watch.\u00a0 His parents Jon and Angie were dedicated to developing his athletic skills, but more importantly to guiding his character\u201d.\n\n\n\n\n\nBirmingham Legion FC described Chandler\u2019s soccer career and character thusly for his initial introductory appearance here: \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter leading Oak Mountain High School to two state champions (2007 2008), Chandler was standout forward at UCLA from 2009-2011. Hoffman went on to have a stellar professional career, earning a bevy of club and individual honors. The Birmingham native won an MLS Cup with the LA Galaxy in 2014. He has twice been named to the USL All-League First Team (2014, 2017), is the fastest player in modern history to tally 50 USL regular-season goals.\n\n\n\n\n\nLegion FC president and general manager Jay Heaps said \u201cChandler has played at the highest professional levels in the US. He is not only a proven winner on the field, he is a player with great character. As a captain of his current team, we expect Chandler to be a leader both on and off the field in 2019 and beyond.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Birmingham Legion\u2019s inaugural game is Saturday March 9 at 6:00 pm at UAB\u2019s BBVA Compass Field versus Bethlehem Steel FC. \u00a0Season continues through October 20 , see https:\/\/www.bhmlegion.com\/schedule-2019<\/a> .\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
