Soccer player recruited for top team in nation

Eighth grader Carter Emack recently travelled to California to play for the U14 U.S. National Team camp.  

The US Soccer Federation recruits the best 32 soccer players in the country in their age group for this camp.

“It’s by no mistake that Carter is one of the best players because he puts a ton of time into working on his own outside of practice,” Birmingham United Executive Director Andrew Bonner said. “He’s a very mature young man who is skilled in the game. He can do things with the ball can that only kids two or three years older than him can usually do.”

Carter is the son of Jim and Kaye Emack.
