The United Soccer Club “Spring Kick” Tournament was held Friday, June 3 from 4:30-7:15 p.m. on the RFK Stadium Training Field. The event brought together over 200 participants in the culmination of a ten-week training program focused on teaching the participants the importance of a healthy lifestyle through physical activity and proper nutrition, as well as life skills that are beneficial on and off the field.
The day was highlighted by well-played matches, player autographs from D.C. United defender Jed Zayner carnival games, music, and a healthy meal. The day’s focus was on sportsmanship and all players were rewarded with a trophy for participation.
