All three players joined the Rangers directly from the Sporting KC Academy after spending a large portion of preseason with the team. Armstrong and Little both relocated to Kansas City within the last few years from Tennessee to join the Sporting KC Academy, while Tekesky is from Raymore, Mo. Armstrong comes from a family with pedigree, with his father, Desmond Armstrong, a National Hall of Famer. Most recently, Jaylin Lindsey was signed to an academy contract on May 6, making his debut the following day against Saint Louis FC, becoming the first American born in the 2000s to make his professional debut.

CAPTAIN DUKE On Wednesday, March 23, the Swope Park Rangers' first­ever signing Christian Duke was named captain of the club ahead of the season opener. Duke is an Overland Park, Kan. native that came through Sporting KC's Academy before enjoying a four­year college career at the University of San Diego. He was selected by Sporting KC in the 2013 Supplemental Draft but did not make an appearance, instead spending time on loan at OKC Energy FC before joining the club permanently in 2015. So far this season, Duke has started all 18 games for SPR.


GAME NOTES CONT. LOCAL PRESENCE IN THE SQUAD While there are four players on the Swope Park Rangers roster who are directly from the Kansas City area, four more have connections to the city. Christian Duke (Overland Park, Kan.), Kevin Ellis (Kansas City, Mo.) Jon Kempin (Leawood, Kan.) and Steven Tekesky (Raymore, Mo.) were all raised in the region, while Ezra Armstrong, Jaylin Lindsey, Will Little and Nansel Selbol all entered the club through the Sporting KC Academy, despite not being natives of the area. In addition, center back Tommy Meyer is from St. Louis, Mo. and returns to his home state after spending eight years away.

CONNECTED TO SWOPE PARK The team name, "Swope Park Rangers", is a moniker that stems from the days of the old MLS Reserve League. Sporting Kansas City's reserve side would play games at Swope Soccer Village at Swope Park and fans who followed the side coined the name Swope Park Rangers in reference to the team. The name was never used through official club channels until October 22, 2015, when Sporting Club introduced the Swope Park Rangers as the organization's new USL side. The club will play the majority of its home games at Children's Mercy Victory Field at Swope Soccer Village.

TECHNICAL STAFF MARC DOS SANTOS Head Coach Marc Dos Santos is entering his 10th year of coaching in 2016, having most recently taken Ottawa Fury FC to the 2015 NASL Soccer Bowl, culminating in being named 2015 NASL Coach of the Year. Dos Santos began his career with the Montreal Impact's reserve team, Trois­Rivieres Attak FC of the Canadian Soccer League in 2007. After several titles, Dos Santos became the Impact head coach in 2009 and led Montreal to CONCACAF Champions League qualification and a USL First Division title before transitioning to USSF Division 2 in 2010 and the NASL the following year. In 2012, Dos Santos moved to Brazil to focus on youth development with FC Primeira Camisa U­20s and SE Palmeiras U­15s, winning a Copa do Brasil U­15 championship with the latter. Dos Santos returned to Canada in 2013 to take charge of the Ottawa Fury ahead of their NASL expansion season.

NIKOLA POPOVIC Assistant Coach Nikola Popovic has extensive experience coaching in Europe, having most recently been an assistant coach at Benfica B. A dual citizen of Portugal and Serbia who was born in Belgrade, Popovic has coached in Portugal with CD Olivais e Moscavide (2005­07), Varzim SC (2007­10), Sertanese FC (2013­14) and Benfica B (2015­16). He also coached in Bulgaria with FC Vihren Sandanski (2007) and Chernomorets Burgas (2010­11). Popovic made further stops with the Cape Verde National Team (2010), Spanish side AD Ceuta (2010) and Qatari sides Al Dahfra (2011­12) and Aspire Academy (2014). Popovic holds a UEFA Pro coaching license ­ the highest UEFA license available ­ and also spent time studying at Inter Milan, Portugal Under­21s and Serbia & Montenegro Under­21s.

ALEC DUFTY Goalkeeper Coach Alec Dufty spent the 2015 season in the USL with Toronto FC II. While with the club, the TFC II goalkeeping corps finished third in the USL with 125 saves and starting goalkeeper Quillan Roberts placed second in the league in save percentage (.766) and third in saves per game (4.80). Dufty had previously coached collegiately at Florida Gulf Coast University and the University of Illinois at Chicago. A former MLS player, Dufty began his career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009 before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire later that same year. He announced his retirement and focused on coaching at the conclusion of the 2011 season.

JOSH MCALLISTER Fitness Coach Josh McAllister joined the Sporting KC organization in early 2015 as the Academy fitness coach, and has now transitioned into a new role with the Swope Park Rangers. While with the Academy, McAllister assisted Mateus Manoel with the first team, but his primary focus was developing fitness regimens and strength programs for each Academy age group. A Marshalltown, Iowa native, McAllister graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2008 and coached with Heartland Soccer Club, West Des Moines Soccer Club and Sporting Iowa before completing a year­long internship with MLS side the Portland Timbers in 2014. Immediately prior to joining Sporting KC, McAllister enjoyed a successful spell as an assistant coach for the Drake University Men's Soccer Team.
