Did you know that SDC Rhyhtm XP and coach Solly Williams also discussed the surprising slot scramble? posted: Dec 13th, 2024 The recent NSL Live Talk with the complete SDC Rhythm XP lineup and coach Solly Williams ended with a surprise, which requires a follow-up story. The discussion of the team history concluded with the slots, which the NSL News has documented since the team project was launched in 2007.
Doug Barron joined Rhythm in 2016 and started in the tail slot, where he staid until after the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020 in August 2021. The center slots were taken by JaNette (outside) and Steve Lefkowitz (inside). The new Rhythm members, Andrew Happick and Doug Barron, took the open positions.

Did you know that SDC Rhythm XP had a 100-jump tryout with Greg Oldendick? posted: Dec 11th, 2024 It was coincidence that Arizona Airspeed and SDC Rhythm XP both had changes in their lineups recently and roughly at the same time.
