Orlando, Fla. – Earlier this year, Orlando City Youth Soccer (OCYS) exemplified its devotion to college placement when 27 OCYS boys and girls announced their commitments to various universities across the United States on national signing day. The number of commits moved to 37 in the month of May when 10 additional players also announced what university they will attend.
Last year OCYS had 41 players commit to university and as a result, OCYS continues to be one of the leading clubs in the country with the number of players moving onto the next level.
To honor and highlight this incredible achievement accomplished by all of the student-athletes, Orlando City SC will recognize each player at ESPN Wide World of Sports on May 31, prior to its match against the Charlotte Eagles.
“This is a very exciting time for all of our seniors,” said Executive Director Stephen Rammel. “We are aware that we are part of a pro model but we also understand that the majority of our club will go on to college. The quality of the colleges and the quantity of players that we have that have received scholarships demonstrates our support and belief in our student-athletes going on to play and study at the collegiate level.”
