Quin Williams, a sixth-grader at Pinewood Preparatory School, is headed to London, England, to train at the Arsenal Academy over Thanksgiving break.

Arsenal Academy Football came to Summerville for the first time this summer to bring the London experience to the U.S. Select campers were chosen to return to London to continue their training under the Elite Academy, the youth system of Arsenal Football Club based in Hale End, London, England. The academy teams play in the Professional Development League, England's highest level of youth football. The club also competes in the FA Youth Cup and the UEFA Youth League competitions.

Williams also participated in the Clemson soccer camp this summer, which gave him the highest speed and agility marks. Williams plays locally with the Charleston Soccer Club under Coach Dan Cohen as a left wing. His speed and agility are top-notch, giving him the nickname Trackhawk.

Training at Arsenal Academy in London is a prestigious opportunity, especially for someone so young. Arsenal's youth system has a long history of developing world-class talent, and being selected to continue training with them is a testament to Quin's skill and potential. The nickname Trackhawk highlights his standout speed and agility, which are key traits for a left wing.

Balancing local play with the Charleston Soccer Club, summer experiences like the Clemson soccer camp, and this international opportunity show Williams' dedication and work ethic. Competing in environments like these can pave the way for an exciting future in soccer.
