The Homegrown Player Rule was launched in 2008 to allow clubs to sign local players from their own academies to their First Team rosters. Because of this rule, clubs can sign an unlimited amount of academy players to a first-team contract on any given year. Any Homegrown Player must have resided in the club's home territory and participated in its youth development system for at least one year, as well as meeting other unspecified league requirements.
Mike Jacobs, General Manager: One thing that our club is synonymous now with is growth. Be it franchises like an MLS club or our second team now in Huntsville, facilities like this palace. Like our training facilities entry forms or one of the finest youth academies Currey Ingram Academy or the development of our youth academy. The lifeline of any club has its youth academy and the ability to grow their own players. That's not just here at Nashville Soccer Club, or in Major League Soccer but really anywhere in the world. It's for a club's present, and as for the club's future, just like the dates when those special facilities being built and opened marked landmark dates, or figurative mile markers for our club, today's another really important and special mile marker for Nashville Soccer Club.
Signing Adem as our first homegrown player is special for not only Adem and his family and for our club's fans, but really is a peek behind the curtain of what we hope will start to be a conveyor belt of players being grown develop through our First Team be it through our youth academy, which Adem has absolutely smashed over the past year or through Huntsville City FC, where he scored his first professional goal just a couple of days ago. We now have a full pro player pathway that for the first time enables us to be like any other club in the world. It's exciting time for the present and the future of Nashville Soccer Club. Adem is truly a deserving candidate to be our club's first Homegrown.
Being professional is less about how much money you make and more about how you conduct your business. Knowing that please trust me when I tell you Adem Sipićhas been a professional long before we sign his first contract. As number of people that really need to get a pat in the back for making this all reality. John Ingram's vision not only bring them less club to Nashville but it's also want to see youth academy grown on his own Currey Ingram Academy campus that would attract some of the finest youth soccer players United States. We now have players in our Academy not only from the state of Tennessee, but also players from California, Michigan, Washington D.C. and Bowling Green, Kentucky.
