CHESTER, Pa. (February 13, 2019) – Philadelphia Union today announced it has partnered with Roxborough United SC. Under the collaborative arrangement, Union youth coaches will lead evaluation and training sessions for Roxborough United SC’s youth programs.

The partnership was carefully designed with the goal of both clubs coming together to raise the level of soccer in the community, as well as provide elite training and development programs for the youth of the area.

“This is a great partnership and we are very proud to work with Roxborough United SC,” said Union Youth General Manager David Pettican. “They are a club that is local, community based, and has been supportive of Philadelphia Union.
