WOLFPACK WOMEN SOCCER TO HOLD SECOND BENEFIT CLINIC March 5, 2010
Posted by lread in Women's Soccer.trackback
If there is one thing you can say about the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer program, its that they care about the community. The BC College Athletic Association team has been involved in a number of charitable events: from World Literacy Day, to Wendy’s Dreamlift and putting together care packages for the less fortunate at Christmas.
You can now add another to the list. For the second year, the WolfPack team will be conducting a benefit soccer clinic. This year, the beneficiaries will be the CIBC Run for the Cure. The clinic will be held Sunday March 28 th at Hillside Stadium.
“We had so much fun doing the clinic last year,” said WolfPack head coach Tom McManus. “We wanted to do it again. It’s a good way for us to give back to the community and makes a connection with minor soccer players. The girls themselves picked Breast Cancer and the Run for the Cure as this year’s charity of choice.”
There will be two sessions on the 28 th. The first for players from U-6 to U-10. The second will be for players from U-11 to U-14. WolfPack players will be instructing at six different stations over the two hour session. They will be instructing on fundamentals and other parts of the game along with a scrimmage.
“This is a great way for the younger players to get to meet our girls, and get ready for the season.” Said McManus, who is also the head coach of Kamloops Youth Soccer. “Since the regular season for them won’t start until mid April, this is a good chance for the younger players to get some touches on the ball.”
Again this year, admission is by donation: it is recommended that young players bring along $10.00. Players should pre register by calling or emailing Sports Information Officer Larry Read. The email is lread@tru.ca or call (250) 377-6117.
The sessions will be limited to 90 players.
Officials of the local CIBC Run for the Cure initiative have graciously donated some gift certificates for prize draws and stickers for the players.
The WolfPack would like to thank the City of Kamloops for donating Hillside Stadium, The Kamloops Rec Men’s Soccer League for switching their game time on the 28 th to accommodate the clinic. They would also like to acknowledge a charitable donation by the TRU Bookstore. All players attending the camp will get a TRU mini Frisbee among other gifts.
