Kids
Kick It At Clinic

Sunday afternoon in North Park kids participated in a soccer
clinic held by Lambuth mens soccer coach Paul Conway through the
Jackson Parks and Recreation while their parents enjoyed a
beautiful afternoon in the warm weather.

Young soccer players made the
most of Sunday's spring-like weather.
About 80 children participated in a free soccer player development
clinic at North Park sponsored by the Jackson Recreation and Parks
Department.
"Its gorgeous, beautiful, ideal," mom Andrea Drummond said as she
enjoyed temperatures in the upper 70s.
Drummond was watching from the sidelines as her 8-year-old daughter,
Kayley, performed drills in one of the soccer clinics taught by Paul
Conway, Lambuth's head men's soccer coach.
"Just touch it with the sole of your feet," Conway said while
demonstrating soccer's proper foot handling techniques.
"Run the dribble nice and easy," he said from the field.
Laura Kinzer brought her 7-year-old son, Samuel, to join the fun. But
it wasn't that easy to convince Samuel to kick the ball around with the
group.
"Sam went to the free clinic last year. I'm not sure why he's not
wanting to play today," Kinzer said.
Samuel opted to stand on the sidelines Sunday and watch instead.
Drummond, a mother of three, said this is the third year she's had a
child in the soccer clinic.
In addition to giving kids the opportunity to improve their skills on
the soccer field, coaches have the chance to watch players and kick
their coaching up a notch, Drummond said.
"I've seen improvement in coaching and learning drills and learning
how to have fun as well," Drummond said.
"It seems as though they do a lot of drills that would be helpful for
a beginner," said Mirasol Fitzgerald, who had a son and a daughter in
the clinic on Sunday.
Drummond said she likes how Conway teaches the children to stay in
control while they are on the field.
"Control the ball. Control yourself, that's what Conway tells the
kids a lot," she said. "He's just got a gift with the kids. Look how
obedient they are."

could not have ordered a more perfect day for the opening of spring soccer. It
was fantastic. Thanks to everyone, especially Susan and her staff, that worked
so hard to have everything ready for this day. Also a special thanks needs to go
out to Tony Black and Jim Jacobs, the fields have never looked this good before
on opening weekend. They looked absolutely GREAT !!! Thanks to everyone for a
great opening Saturday.
$10,000 DONATION TO THE CITY OF JACKSON
Jackson Area Wide Soccer presented a $10,000 donation to the City of Jackson
on Saturday September 9, 2006 at the opening day ceremony of fall recreational
soccer. This donation will go toward the purchase of new goals for refurbishing
Murray Field to put back into service 6 full size practice fields. The remainder
of the donation will be utilized to sod the baseball fields at North Park where
the clay is on the fields, so as to provide more playable surfaces as well as
safer playing fields. This $10,000 donation brings the total to $50,000 that the
Jackson Area Wide Soccer has been able to give to the City of Jackson to assist
in the development of facilities, programs and anything else required that is
not budgeted.
