A Small Number Of High Schools Have Sports Teams In Germany
A small number of high schools have sports teams in Germany and Edebali was playing football for club teams in Hamburg and Cologne in 2005 when he introduced himself to John Lyons, who was coaching the Cologne Centurions of NFL Europe. Edebali was able to get a scholarship with USA Football’s International Student Program with the help of Lyons. He became one of nine German students within the ISP, including four at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H., where Lyons is the coach. Lyons said, “Some of these kids come over with a pretty good understanding of football and skills, once we learned their best position, some of the techniques were new to them. For the most part, I’m amazed how quickly a player like Kasim can pick up things.”
