Who Are Ya!: TLH Reckoning (USL W / WPSL)

November 03, 2025 by Joshua Duder

Slowly growing from the grassroots and up - TLH Reckoning is fortunate to have been founded by Dr Ashlee Fontes, someone well-known for her understanding of soccer as well as the business of sport. The club is partnering with local business, and working to invest in the community as much as the community can invest in them to put multiple pre-professional squads, as well as academy teams, on the pitch.
