The United States Soccer Federation has announced that Houston Dash assistant coach Twila Kilgore (formerly Kaufman) will join the United States Women’s National Team as an assistant coach.
Kilgore, who joined the Dash in August 2019, has spent the last three and half seasons with the Dash as an assistant coach on head coach James Clarkson’s staff. In her time in Houston, Kilgore was instrumental in helping the Houston Dash win its first ever NWSL championship, the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup.

In December, Kilgore earned the USSF Pro License, after completing the required courses. She joins three other women, including former USWNT head coach Jill Ellis, to earn the certification, and is the first woman born in the United States to earn a Pro License.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for her, one that she thoroughly deserves,” Dash head coach James Clarkson said. “We’re going to miss her. I would say, every NWSL team that didn’t hire her this year have missed an unbelievable opportunity and it’s just going to cost them six times as much to hire her when they do want to.”
Prior to her time with the Dash, Kilgore spent five years as the head coach at the University of California Davis and 10 seasons as a member of the coaching staff at Pepperdine University.
Kilgore will join USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski and the rest of the coaching staff for the upcoming SheBelieves Cup which begins Feb. 17 in Carson, Calif.
