The Seattle Impact announced the signing of former Seattle SeaDogs and 1996 NPSL Rookie of the Year, Jason Dunn as its Head Coach. 

Jason Dunn, a Washington native, joins the Impact after coaching for the last 20 years in Washington and Arizona. 

“I am grateful for the opportunity that the Seattle Impact is giving me to come home and coach in my native Washington," Dunn said.  "I know it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am fully commited to bring a winning team to the area."

Todd Haley, introduced as Impact assistant coach, brings over 14 years of coaching experience. A former professional player with knowledge of the intricacies of the indoor game, Haley brings leadership and success to the team. 

The Impact also announced they will hold open tryouts July 19th and 20th at the ShoWare Center in Kent.

"We are looking to find 3-5 local talented athletes to compliment the core of players we have signed," said Earl.

Cost of the tryout is $75 and is payable via cash or cashiers check. A liability waiver will be required and the Players will be tested on agility, conditioning and soccer ability. Successful participants will be invited to attend training camp in October. Prospects are urged to bring appropriate workout gear and shoes/cleats and will be required to wear protective equipment and will not be allowed on the field without such.
