Not Only Owner, Dion Earl to Play: Seattle head coach Jason Dunn has announced the signing of club owner Dion Earl as a player. Earl last played with the PASL Wenatchee Fire in 2009. After starring at Seattle Pacific University he played professionally for the Seattle Sounders, Seattle SeaDogs (where he was Dunn's teammate) and Kansas City Attack of the NPSL.
"Dion is still a high-level athlete, always running, always staying fit," says Dunn. "He's an excellent defender, and it's difficult finding seasoned, veteran defenders. He can not only defend and get out, but Dion and Jeff Bader give us stability in the back, a quality you see in the good teams."
Seven players are now under contract to Impact FC for the 2014-15 season. Earl joins Bader, Francisco Cisneros, Gordy Gurson, Peter Sliwa, Andrew Croft and Micah Wenzel.
Team Tryouts Sept. 6-7: A strong group of up to 40 aspiring Impact FC players are converging on ShoWare Center September 6-7, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. Coach Jason Dunn expects the cast to include many players who played USL PRO and elsewhere outdoors this summer. So far Seattle has seven players under contract, leaving plenty of opportunities for trialists to impress and earn either preseason training camp invitation or contract offers from Impact FC. Players wishing to register for the tryout are to do so via the team website. Preseason training camp is scheduled for October 13-14 after which a roster of 22 players will be determined.
Ladies with Impact Auditions: Next weekend, September 6-7, are dance auditions for the Ladies with Impact. The organization is seeking talented dancers who can serve as ambassadors and entertainers at Impact FC games this season. Lauren Baumann and Elizabeth Busion have been named co-captains for Ladies with Impact. Serving as judges at the audition finals September 7 at ShoWare Center will be Terry Hollimon and former Seattle Seahawks Pro Bowl defensive back Marcus Trufant-co-hosts of The Barbershop-as well as UW legend and Super Bowl champ Lawyer Milloy, former soccer pro Ricci Greenwood and Janna Ford, past advisor to the Seattle SuperSonics dance team. Ladies with Impact audition are from 3-5 p.m. daily. Registration is available via www.SeattleImpactFC.com. Both player tryouts and dance auditions are closed to the public.
