What is Two Knox?
One Knox SC is excited to announce the formation of a Men’s B team!
Two Knox will have a 7 month season from June – December. They will compete in the USL Academy summer league and the UPSL fall league.
This new team will anchor the One Knox Academy platform and sit directly beneath the first team. Two Knox players will work with first team coaches and get the opportunity to train with the first team should they earn it.
Two Knox will be coached by former USL 2 Head Coach Gui Henry.
Two Knox will train 4 days a week and play in 22+ games across all competitions.
The goal is to better prepare the top players in East Tennessee for their next level; whether that’s at College or One Knox SC.
