He is now currently the founder of (Wizards Futbol Club ) a youth soccer academy. ==Career== Burciaga played youth soccer for the Dallas Texans Soccer Club, and graduated from Duncanville High School where he was the 2000 District 7 soccer MVP and two-time All State. Instead of attending college, Burciaga opted to turn professional after finishing high school, signing a Project-40 contract with the MLS. 〔http://www.dallastexans.com/page/show/908714-alumni-〕 Burciaga was selected 12th overall in the 2001 MLS SuperDraft by the Kansas City Wizards. Although a star with United States youth national teams, he was not immediately ready for MLS. He played two games on loan to the Portland Timbers of the USL A-League.〔(2001 Portland Timbers )〕 He also played three games for Project 40 and one game with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in an August 2001 U.S. Open Cup game. He finished the season with the Wizards with three games, two of them starts. Burciaga tore his left knee's ACL in preseason, and missed the entire 2002 season rehabbing the injury. He came on strong in 2003, earning the left back starting position in preseason, and looked poised to finally come into his own; he tore his right knee's ACL in the fourth game of the season, and so finished the year with only those four starts. After two painful years, Burciaga returned to the Wizards' lineup in 2004, and was injury-free for the entire year. Given the opportunity he seized the left back position, and kept it all year long. He finished the season with 21 starts out of 24 games played, and added one goal and one assist. In 2005 Burciaga was selected out of all the MLS players to in the (MLS Select ) team vs Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu for the Trofeo Bernabeu. In 2006 was Burciaga's breakout year, as he scored 8 goals and 8 assists, several of them spectacular, in earning MLS Best XI honors for the first time and team MVP. Burciaga was traded by Kansas City Wizards to league rivals Colorado Rapids on January 16, 2008, in return for a 2009 second round 2009 MLS SuperDraft pick. Colorado Rapids opted not to renew his contract for the 2009 season. Recently, Burciaga has trialed with Orlando City S.C. for the 2011 preseason, but was not offered a contract with the team. In the spring of 2012, Burciaga is attempting to earn a roster spot with MLS side D.C. United. 〔http://www.mlssoccer.com/players/jose-burciaga-jr〕 〔http://www.mlssoccer.com/history/club/kansascity/2006〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「José Burciaga, Jr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
