Scoring a Goal: Local men’s soccer clubs join forces to create new elite team

Four central Pennsylvania youth soccer clubs have collaborated to form an advisory board to better recruit and train regional young male soccer players.

The group will support the creation of the Men’s Hershey FC National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) Team and the Central Pennsylvania United Under 23 Team (Central Penn United U-23).
