Bringing soccer back to Chester High School is an idea that is as old as the Philadelphia Union — that the local high school in the city the team calls home doesn’t and hasn’t had school soccer for 30 years doesn’t make a lot of sense, after all.
A partnership between the Philadelphia Union, the Union Foundation, Power Home Remodeling, Adidas to fund the program at the middle and high school levels for boys and girls was officially announced on Wednesday at an event held at Talen Energy Stadium.
“When this opportunity came across our email I sat down with one of our founders Adam Kaliner who’s here and we talked about it for 10 seconds,” said Power Home Remodeling Co-CEO Asher Raphael, a former college soccer player said during the event.
