First Clinic Awesome

Approximately 15 boys and girls turned up on Saturday for the first Arlington USFooty Kids clinic. The coaches, Chris and Denis, were helped by a number of players from the Baltimore Washington Eagles including Club President Rob Brunton and Eagles Senior Coach Matty Bishop.



The clinic started with some warm up games and some "ball stretching". The players worked in pairs to pass the ball from one to the other.



After stretching and warmup we went through some skills, inluding catching, hand passing, kicking and bouncing. This was followed by games to teach field awareness and practice kicking and picking up the ball.



Finally, we were ready for the big game. The players were split into two teams, the yellow team was the Eagles and the blue team was the Blues. The junior Eagles played some impressive football but the junior Blues were able to pick up some great goals.
