The New York Red Bulls are teaching a soccer clinic for children ages 7 and up tomorrow, Wednesday September 25th at Newport Green (700 Washington Blvd.) in Jersey City from 5:30-7pm.
Take advantage of the opportunity for your kids to improve their soccer skills while training with the players of the New York Red Bulls (my personal favorite “American football” team)—for free!

Get your game on,
