On Monday April 16th, professional soccer players from the Philadelphia Union paid a visit to FC DELCO's youth clinic at the club's new home in Conshohocken, PA. It's no coincidence that the two players, were alumni of the FC DELCO Academy Program, Jimmy Mclaughlin and Zach Pfeffer. Jimmy and Zach, played along side, coached, and answered questions from both the kids and their parents, and signed autographs for the young players ranging in age from 6-8 years old. The boys had a fantastic time and the club's very appreciative of Zach and Jimmy's time and energy toward assisting in the development of youth soccer players in the community and with their Club.

Last weekend, FC Delco Burnley traveled to San Diego for the second of their three ECNL national showcase events. The girls had three tough games to play over teams from Tulsa Oklahoma, Colorado and Las Vegas. In the first game the Burnley ran into a very physical and organized TSC Hurricane team. The team fought hard and got a breakaway for Aley Kate McKinley late in the second half off a through ball from Kristina Zahan. That proved all that was needed to get the win as the Burnley shut out the TSC Hurricanes. In the second game, the Burnley once again won 1-0 on a goal by McKinley, this time after a corner kick scramble
