Union Academy selects first player from outside the organization

The Union Academy has reached an exciting new milestone as the first student from YSC Academy who began as a player for an outside club has earned a place on the Union Academy roster.

Ramzi Qawasmy, a rising senior, was part of the first cohort of players to enter the school in 2010. He will join the U19’s in their upcoming season while finishing his high school career, and will then continue on to Division 1 in college.

Qawasmy, like most of the other non-Union players who attend YSC Academy, comes from Continental FC and has been working towards this opportunity for years.
