Grassroots Community Outreach Clinics

 

Heart of the City's "Grassroots" Community Camps & Clinics are our way of providing introductory soccer experiences for kids ages 5-14 in Lake County at no cost.

We serve nearly 300 kids annually with our clinics at local schools, park districts and the Boys & Girls Club.

The progressive training curriculum we created is heavily focused on player development and fun, free-flowing activities.

This program is supervised by our Director of Coaching with support from the HOTC Elite professional coaches and high schools players.
