Major League Soccer dissolved it's reserve division at the conclusion of the 2008 season, reducing the opportunity for MLS understudies to get ample playing time.
Despite that, Seattle Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid has been able to keep his reserves busy with a make-shift reserve schedule that has allowed his players the opportunity to make up matches and stay sharp.
"These are our games," defender Patrick Ianni said. "These are our chances to get better. We use them to get better at a number of different things ... how you can stay sharp, so when you get your chance with the first team, it's not like you haven't played in months. So it's been very nice that they've put these games together for guys that aren't playing."
