Soccer Camp
The San Jose Clash spent most of July on the road, but will return home to play three of four games in August at Spartan Stadium.
And that's not just good news for Major League Soccer fans, but all for area age group soccer players.
Because while they're home, Clash players will be in the area to host a youth soccer camp for local players at Congress Springs Park in Saratoga.
The Clash and the Saratoga AYSO will host the MLS Camp on Aug. 23-27, 9 a.m.-noon each day, for players ages 7-18. The cost is $100 per player.
Each camper receives an individual player evaluation, a gift from MLS, a free companion ticket to a Clash game, an official league soccer ball and an MLS camp T-shirt. Parents and coaches are also welcome at the camps.
For information, contact the league's website at www.saratoga-ayso.org, the MLS website at www.nasc.com or call Bobbi Eisenberg at 252-0500.
