Defender Soccer Clinic Details

Step into the art of defending! Our Defender Clinic is designed specifically for players who want to master the skills, tactics, and mindset it takes to shut down attackers and lead from the back.

    Donations: For this clinic we are partnering with AOTK (Army of the Kind), a charitable 501c3 non-profit providing nutrition, clean water, shelter, and education to children in developing countries. They will be taking a trip to Honduras in December, so we are asking for soccer-related donations (cleats, indoor turf/fustal shoes, socks, shorts, pants, shirts, jerseys, bags, hats, etc.)
