United States Medical Soccer Team

On June 6, 2014, USMST shared an amazing afternoon of fun, education and of course, soccer at the Boys and Girls Club of Elgin, Illinois.  During their last practice weekend prior to leaving for the 2014 World Medical Football Championships in Natal, Brazil, USMST had the privilege of taking their Healthy, Fit and Smart outreach program to the Chicago area.  The kids were incredibly enthusiastic and took time out of their summer routine to join USMST.  With the valuable assistance of Lauren Boaz of the Elgin Boys and Girls Club, the team and participants had a great time and look forward to future programs geared towards nutrition, fitness and education.

Mauricio Pleitez put together a great video of the afternoon:
