For the first time in over two months, members of the Seattle Sounders trained at Starfire Sports.
Over the weekend, the club announced it had received approvals from local, regional and state authorities to initiate supervised voluntary individual training sessions. On Monday, the first slate of sessions took place at the club’s facility in Tukwila.
“Everything has been great,” said Head Coach Brian Schmetzer. “The coaches are happy to be out here, and the players are happy to be out here. It’s been a good start.”
In adherence with MLS protocols and guidance from health experts, the club instituted a strict regimen of safety measures, including staggered arrivals, sanitation stations, temperature checks, restricted access to indoor facilities, required use of PPE and limited movement to one player per quarter of the field.
