The new outdoor team, the Capi- tal Sockadillos, is made up of players from the indoor Sockadil- los and former Capital Soccer Club under-19 players. They will com- pete in the new outdoor league that comes from the 12-team Southwest Indoor Soccer League. The new league has been approved by the United States Soccer Federation to -field outdoor semi-pro squads.

Despite the narrow loss, team di-rector Saeed Kadkhodaian expressed pleasure with the team's first outing. Kadkhodaian, along with coaches Tony Simoes and" Wolfgang Suhnholz, expects the, team to improve by Monday's 7:30 p.m. league opener against San An- tonio at the Burger Center. Public support for soccer is ex- pected to rapidly grow during the next few years because the United States will host the 1994 World Cup. Fan response is a key factor in the success of any local team as well as the return of professional outdoor soccer to the U.S.

National organizers know the reasons for the demise of the former North American Soccer League and are working to prevent a repeat. One reason the only major outdoor United States soccer, league ever attempted failed was the absence of U.S. stars. Kyle Rote, Jr. comes to mind, but no others.

International stars like Pele usually took the spotlight. But numbers and quality oftt youth players has grown tremendously over the years and that" makes for a more knowledgeable fan base and higher caliber player skill. This and the formation of-outdoor leagues should help the sport become established along with pro baseball, basketball football. Each Southwest Outdoor Soccer League team must have at least -two players over the age of 30, three youth players and 10 with U.S. citizenship on the roster and' five U.S.

citizens on the field at all times. Against Mexico, the Capital" Sockadillos' goals were scored by; current St. Edward's University standout forward Matthew Lankes on assists from Gabe Garcia, a former Capital Soccer Clun U-19-player who plays for the University" of North Carolina-Charlotte.
