Soccer Clinic for Kids on Waiting List

Soccer Clinic for Kids on Waiting List

The goal was fun as Littles on our BBBS waitlist enjoyed a special soccer clinic hosted by Austin Community Soccer Association and Austin Men’s Soccer Association. This fun day of “kicks” was held from 9:00 am – 11:00 am Saturday, October 5 at the Onion Creek Soccer Complex.

“What a fun morning!” said Meg Sweeny, BBBS Volunteer Engagement Manager. “It was really sweet to see the connections between our future Littles and the soccer players. There were two or three that connected right away.”

While conflicts prevented some families from attending, those who did participate had a blast. Though they had planned to offer soccer drills and skills training, which they did, the morning morphed into a pickup game of soccer. Soccer players and participants really enjoyed the game

“The kids were given soccer cleats,” said Meg, “which the players hope will spark the kids’ interest in the sport even more.”

According to Meg the associations have already been discussing ways to hold the event again and to make it bigger and better. They are tentatively planning to hold the next clinic in the spring and include current matches as well.

Many thanks to Austin Community Soccer Association and Austin Men’s Soccer Association for hosting this fun event!
