The YMCA of Austin Youth Soccer program kicked off its season with Austin High School soccer coach Jens Levinson and the Austin Packers players. The season kickoff was a clinic held inside the Y due to the 12+ inches of snow.
"Even with the snow and being held indoors, the kids had a great time," Ruth Chamberlain said. "Coach Jens had the kids busy with passing, dribbling, shooting and fun soccer activities. The Y is lucky to have such dedicated coaches and players to volunteer their time, knowledge and energy."
Thank you to the parents for their time and patience with the weather.
