“To play at a high level of soccer, you need as many touches on the ball as possible,” said Mike Johnson, clinic director of the Sporting JAX Foundation.
“But access to clubs, coaches, and fully-equipped fields can be limited by cost, location and opportunity. With our amazing partners at KIPP, we’re breaking down those barriers and bringing the beautiful game to the students who need it most.”
