02 Feb YSC Academy Opens It’s Doors

WAYNE, Pa. – For Philadelphia Union CEO, Nick Sakiewicz, there have been a number of momentous occasions that have marked the growth and development of his MLS franchise. There was the inaugural game, the groundbreaking at PPL Park and the first trip to the playoffs, just to name a few. But according to Sakiewicz, Tuesday was the biggest day of them all as YSC Academy – the Union’s brand new, state-of-the-art, private high school – officially opened its doors. “It’s huge,” the Union CEO told reporters following the unveiling ceremony, as students scurried to their classrooms for their first day of school. “It’s one of those days in Union history where we will look back 10 or 15 years from now and see a bunch of players at PPL Park and say we were there when we affiliated with YSC Academy and the school.”
