WPS Student selected for North American Select Soccer Program
Berlin, MD – Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) 6th grader, Zac McGovern, was recently selected for The Southhampton (SH) North American Select Tour.
Zac was selected for The SH North American Select Tour at a regional soccer tournament in December, which he attended with his travel team. The nomination provided Zac the opportunity to spend his Easter break training at the Southampton Soccer Academy in England.
Upon receiving the nomination, OC Elevate Coach Dustin Wheelock said, “From the moment Zac came out for our team, we felt his personality and play was infectious. He brings a unique intensity and enjoyment for the game. Zac is always thinking a play ahead, he’s such an intelligent play maker. It came as no surprise to us, when he was selected for this honor…he has such a standout presence on the pitch.”
Zac spent his time in England learning soccer from the SH development coaches, and even trained alongside the first team as they prepared for their match against Man City. He enjoyed behind-the-scenes access to the St. Mary’s stadium and participated in two international games.
Zac was the MVP this year’s WPS Middle School Boys Soccer team and will be a strong addition to the WPS program in years to come.
