Brent Sorg Announced as Lansing Common Head Coach
Lansing Common announced today that it has hired Brent Sorg as Head Coach for the 2023 season. Sorg was named interim Head Coach in July, leading Common to wins in three of their last four league matches and a second-place finish in the Midwest Premier League in 2022.
“As Lansing Common enters year three, our commitment to the cause and purpose grows stronger,” said Sorg. “We will be laser-focused on winning a championship while representing the members of the Greater Lansing Community. I am beyond excited and humbled to lead the charge, and look forward to the challenges ahead.”
We’re thrilled to have Brent as our head coach and excited by his passion for helping us continue to build on what we’ve started as Lansing’s community club. Coach Sorg is committed to this club and community, and we’re confident he can help us take the next step in our growth on and off the field.
Sorg brings a wealth of experience to his new position, including stints as an assistant coach at Spring Arbor University and Alma College, and 12 years as Head Coach at Williamston High School where his teams were 7-time district champions and 3-time state finalists. Sorg was named Michigan High School Soccer Coaches Association Coach of the Year in 2014. He served as an assistant coach for Lansing Common in 2021 and 2022 before being named interim head coach midway through the 2022 season.
Lansing Common competes in the Midwest Premier League, where it finished second in 2021 and 2022. Memberships for the 2023 season, which kicks off in May, are now available at lansingcommonfc.com/memberships.
