Aaron Onion '16 Recruiting Profile

My freshman, and sophomore years of high school I attended Lyons Township High School. I returned to LTHS and America after taking classes and playing soccer in England for AFC Bournemouth Academy IOW, whose First Team were just promoted to the English Premier League. We played in the U19 PLFL Development League against teams like Chelsea, Tottenham, Fulham, Birmingham City, and other professional clubs. Although being only 16 playing on the U19 Development Squad for AFC Bournemouth IOW, I started on the team as a holding midfield player. I captained the team against Oxford, won Man of the Match against Birmingham City, and scored twice versus Fulham.  My freshman year I played for Chicago Fire's Club team, then my sophomore year I played with Chicago Fire's 98' academy team. I am now back at Chicago Fire and I was named team captain for the U17 club team. Our team qualified for Midwest Regionals, and also qualified for National League for the upcoming season. I also trained with the U16 USSDA Fire Academy.  I train everyday either with my team, or by myself, trying to get better with any area of my game I feel I need to improve. I feel with my playing experience, and hard working attitude I would be a good fit at a top college program.
