FRANKLIN, TN - Tennessee Soccer Club has named Dalton Kaufman as head coach of its USL W League team ahead of the inaugural 2022 season.
Kaufman, a USSF A Licensed coach with over 28 years of coaching experience, has achieved tremendous success at various levels of the women’s game. Specifically, he has a proven ability to get new pre-professional women’s teams off the ground and find immediate success.
He was the founding coach and general manager of the Beach Futbol Club WPSL women’s team, winning the 2014 National Championship with the club.
During a three-year stint in Arizona where he served as State Director of ODP and Director of Coaching with Arizona Rush Soccer Club, Kaufman was the founding coach of the Arizona Rush WPSL team. He led this group to the 2008 WPSL National Championship match and the 2010 USYS U23 National Championship match.
Kaufman also served as the General Manager and Associate Head Coach of FC Pacific Makos, who competed in the Pacific South Conference of the WPSL.
“We are very fortunate to have someone as experienced and talented as Dalton leading our USL W League team,” said Executive Director Stuart Brown. “He brings a wealth of knowledge, success and dedication to the women’s game that will have an immediate impact on our players.”
“I am honored and excited for the opportunity to coach the Tennessee Soccer Club W-League team," said Kaufman. "I recognize the USL W-League as the highest level of pre-professional women's soccer in the country, so our coaching staff will be intently working to secure elite player commitments both locally and nationally.
“The initial goal is not only to compete for championships, but to provide a pathway for our players to further their ambitions of playing professionally. Our players will surely benefit from Tennessee Soccer Club's professional structure and quality facilities, and there is no doubt our supporters will find the intimate game-day environment equally special. Cheering the home team on a warm Tennessee evening is something TSC fans and families will find truly enjoyable.”
Kaufman has also coached at the youth, high school and collegiate levels.
Kaufman graduated from the University of Southern California (’94) and has a Masters Degree in Teaching and Learning. He lives in Brentwood with his wife Samantha, and son Callum (a current TSC player).
