Tim Schmoll signed with New York Red Bulls II on Jan. 26, 2016, after playing college soccer at Harvard, including a stint with the Red Bulls U-23s. A native of Coppet, Switzerland, the 6-foot-6 defender moved to America after a successful youth career back home.
“It’s really the main sport that kids play [in Switzerland],” Schmoll said. “Where I grew up, I was playing out with some friends in the streets and in my backyard, since I can’t even remember.”
He represented the International School of Geneva, the biggest club in Geneva, and played with the team up to the Under-18 level.
