We have Sounders as the First Team, and we have player development below that…The development now simply becomes U-12 to USL - it’s all one progression up to that point - and then we begin to transition players up to the First Team.”
“We’re essentially removing S2 as an entity unto itself and we now have two phases of the club. “This completes our restructuring of the club,” Lagerwey said. During his two years as the DOC, he played a critical role in implementing a unified game model across every youth team, establishing game cues and principles of play and creating clear-cut positional profiles.Īt training on Wednesday, Sounders FC General Manager Garth Lagerwey hailed Little’s promotion as a signal of the club’s commitment to player development, solidifying the pathway from the Academy to the First Team. In addition to serving as head of the USL side, Little will continue in his role as Director of Coaching for the Academy. “I’m ready to build upon all the good work that Hutch and Wade did last year in terms of Academy integration and providing a pathway for younger players.” “I’m really excited, and I’m very thankful to the club for the opportunity,” said Little. Little, who was named the 2017-18 USSDA Western Conference Coach of the Year, is ready to seize this opportunity as he ushers S2 into a new era.
Seattle Sounders FC announced on Wednesday that Academy Director of Coaching Chris Little will replace Sounders FC 2’s outgoing Head Coach John Hutchinson, who departed for his native Australia.
