Philadelphia Union's academy has had a good year. The U12s and the U13s both won titles -- the GA Cup and ScotiaBank Concacaf Champions League respectively -- and two more players signed to the Union first team while three joined Bethlehem Steel.
As 2019 wraps up, the Union U19s and U17s are finishing out the Winter stages of the DA Cup aiming to finish on top of their groups and show the academy is truly stacked from top to bottom.
Union U19s head coach Kevin Coleman has his team 2-0 after two matches and in pole position to take first place with six goals scored and zero conceded.
