When the Kansas City Brass joined the PDL in 1998, the club’s goal was to provide a platform for young players to not only hone their skills against a higher level of competition, but provide an opening for the sort of players that would ordinarily fly under the radar to gain greater exposure as they sought to reach the professional ranks. Fifteen seasons later, the club has certainly accomplished much of what it set out to do, with alumni dotted among the rosters in MLS and Europe, and more set to follow them in the near future.
