These changes align with our long-term vision and position our club for sustained success and development at every level.

Jordan Davis will lead the USL W Women’s Team as Head Coach, driving success and development for our women’s program. 

Garreth Barker will transition to USL Academy Manager, focusing on developing the next generation of talent and strengthening the bridge between our academy and senior teams. 

Jack Coulton on the men’s program and a 'to be appointed assistant' on the women’s program will serve as Assistant Coaches and Set-Piece Coaches , contributing tactical insight and specialized strategies. Aimed to enhance our team’s success, the addition of a dedicated Set-Piece Coach is a vital role in modern soccer. Set-pieces are critical moments that often decide matches and this specialized focus reflects our commitment to innovation, precision, and excellence, elevating our performance on the field.

Gareth Evans on the men’s and Hagan Robinson on the women’s will join as Assistant Coaches and IDP (Individual Development Plan) coaches, focusing on tailored player development to maximize individual potential within the team structure. Having an IDP (Individual Development Plan) coach for the USL team is vital for ensuring each player’s growth is tailored to their unique needs and potential. This specialized role focuses on assessing players’ strengths and areas for improvement, setting personalized goals, and creating targeted training programs to help them excel. By aligning individual development with the team’s overall strategy, the IDP Coach ensures players maximize their contributions on the field while progressing towards total immersion on the SSA Swarm playing identity.. This role not only enhances performance but also strengthens the club’s reputation for nurturing top talent.

These strategic appointments reflect our club’s dedication to excellence, innovation, and the creation of robust pathways for players at all levels. By reimagining our USL platform, we aim to position SSA Swarm as a leader in player development and competitive success within the USL framework. 

We are excited about the future of SSA Swarm and look forward to sharing this journey with all of you. Please join us in congratulating our incredible team as we take these bold steps forward! 

Ready for 2025!
