COLUMBIA, S.C. – For the sixth straight year, the University of South Carolina men’s soccer team and the Columbia YMCA are teaming up to sponsor a soccer clinic that will benefit Children’s Chance, an organization whose mission is to provide funding for programs and services that address the needs of children with cancer.

The clinic is designed to be fun, first and foremost, and is geared toward parents and children being together to learn soccer from the Carolina coaching staff and varsity team. Children will be grouped according to age and ability, while parents are welcome to participate or to observe. Separate parental topics include rules of the game, introduction to basic skills and small group and team tactics used in the game of soccer. Gamecock players will also be available to sign autographs following each session and Zig the Pig, the new mascot for Children’s Chance, will be on hand as well.

The clinic, which is open to children ages 5 to 14 and their parents, is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 12, and Sunday, Feb. 13, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at USC’s Indoor Fieldhouse, located on Whaley Street. Cost for the clinic is $50 for YMCA members and $60 for non-YMCA members. A clinic t-shirt is included in the cost and registration should be completed by Feb. 11.
