LA Galaxy school launched two years after YSC Academy called 'first of its kind'

Students at YSC Academy, the private school located in the office park near YSC Sports outside King of Prussia, are at the tail end of the school's third academic year, yet the LA Galaxy's recently launched school is being heralded as a unique, first of its kind experiment in soccer development in the U.S.

LA Galaxy's academy director Pete Vagenas was quoted in the LA Times in a May 3 article saying that their school is "unique and the first of its kind" and writer Kevin Baxter didn't bother to fact check him.
