SUNY Canton team treats 150 Canton elementary students to night of soccer

Posted

CANTON -- Nearly 150 third through sixth graders from Canton were treated recently to an entertaining and fun-filled night of soccer by the SUNY Canton men's soccer team.

Head coach Mark Howlett and members of this year's squad held a 90-minute clinic for the youngsters.

Stations were set up around the Roos home turf field and the players worked with the kids on shooting, dribbling, passing, and other skills. Roody the Roo even made an appearance and took a few shots in goal.

In the last 10 minutes Coach Howlett tossed five balls out on to the field and let the younger players take on his players in a full-field game. And following the fast-paced, back-and-forth action it was the younger soccer stars that prevailed.

The Pee Wee players will back on campus Sept. 14 when the women's soccer team will host another clinic
