NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville SC has its first home at First Tennessee Park. It has unveiled its first uniform for the 2018 USL season, and is holding a vote for the second. It has 2,000 season-ticket members and rising.

And it appears very soon it will have the first players that will represent the club in its inaugural season in the USL next spring.

“It’s almost like the mist is starting to clear a little bit and now you can start to see a bit of what the team will look like,” Head Coach Gary Smith told the Nashville Ledger’s John Glennon this week. “Because part of a coach’s job is creating – in his mind – what the team will look like, how they want to play and some of the qualities he’s after. Then it’s about adding the right ingredients to make it work.

“Once you start adding those players that you can see mentally bringing certain aspects of your team to life, of course it’s much more exciting.”

Nashville and Smith had the chance to put some players through a test run this year, with the club’s PDL team just missing out on a playoff place this past summer as some strong college prospects got put through their paces.
