Last week, the youngest members of the Sounders soccer system traveled to the National Training Center in Carson, California. There U.S. Soccer’s Technical Advisers and Youth National Team coaches were finishing their focused scouting efforts of meaningful games when they headed to the Western Regional Showcase. The showcase offers players three games against teams outside their division, selected to provide meaningful games and a variety of competition.
On Friday, November 4, the 26 U13 teams started off the event with two shortened games each. The Sounders Discovery Program U13 squad started the day against Ablion SC. Previously against ASC, the SDP squad lost 2-0.
