AMHERST, Mass. - Children ages 5-12 will have the opportunity to meet members of the University of Massachusetts men's soccer team and participate in a mini-clinic on April 27 at Rudd Field. The session is free and will run from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
T-shirts will be available for a $7 donation with all proceeds going to Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Hampshire County.
Come out and enjoy an evening of a hands-on learning experience with some of the best soccer players in Western Mass.
"This is a great chance for us to teach the game of soccer to some of our young fans and get a chance to help out a wonderful organization like Big Brothers/Big Sisters with the donations," said head coach Sam Koch. "Hopefully this opportunity will leave an impression on the kids who come out and will foster a great appreciation for the game."
For more information or to request a registration brochure, please contact the UMass Marketing Department at 413-545-1401.
Massachusetts has a deep tradition of men's soccer as the Minutemen have earned the Atlantic 10 Regular-Season Championship three times, made seven A-10 Tournament appearances, and has advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Koch enters his 15th season with the Minutemen, his 20th overall at the collegiate level, and is the all-time winningest coach with 154 victories at UMass.
