Train with Soccer Pros For Free Saturday

The French Soccer Institute as part of its effort to court the local community and build a facility in San Clemente, will host three clinics.

The French Soccer Institute, the organization courting the city for permission to build a big training facility in San Clemente, will hold three free soccer clinics at parks around the city Saturday.

The organization is made up of retired pro players and coaches, and boasts that kids from 8 to 16 can "train like the pros."

The first clinic will be at the Vista Hermosa Sports Park from 10 to 11 a.m.; the second will be at Liberty Park from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; and the third will be at San Gorgonio Park from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

All kids must bring water, soccer gear and sunscreen. Parents must sign a release form.
