San Diego Spirit names Tom Tate as
the club's new goalkeeper coach
Tate, 28, comes
to the Spirit from the A-League's San Diego Flash, where he played
three seasons, and from the University of San Diego, where he coached
goalkeepers for five years. The position with the Spirit will be
Tate's first with a professional club. Prior to joining the Spirit,
Tate was the men's and women's goalkeeper coach for the University
of San Diego for five years. From 1992-'98, he also served as the
assistant coach and then head coach for the University of San Diego
High School boy's team. He has also coached at the club level since
1992 with the San Diego Fire and Mesa Soccer Clubs.
"I am looking
forward to the season and a new challenge," said Tate. "It's a fantastic
opportunity to work with world-class female goalkeepers. I know
how great a soccer town this is and it's exciting to help start
professional women's soccer here."
