The Little Eagles Clinic will include fun drills for kids ages 6-12 capped off with a pep talk and team photo at the end. The Fan Fest will begin at 5 p.m. and the clinic is expected to start at 7:15 p.m. While the event is free, parents are strongly encouraged to pre-register their kids online at GSEagles.com/LEFC. In addition, we ask parents to print and sign the Waiver Form and Photo Release Form prior to the event to speed up the check-in process. Check-in will be open as soon as the Fan Fest begins starting at 5 p.m. on the South Concourse of Paulson Stadium. It will also open at 6:30 p.m. on the Rotary Field of Dreams.
Concessions will be available during the scrimmage with non-alcoholic drinks and snacks on the north side of the stadium.
Additionally, women's soccer will hold an exhibition match at 4 p.m. and fans are encouraged to use the RAC Lot for that event.
Fans will be able to get autographs from select Eagle Olympic sports teams during the scrimmage under the President's Deck on the home side. Following the Little Eagles Clinic, the first Movie Night at Paulson will take place and fans are encouraged to bring blankets (no chairs allowed), food and drinks onto the field to enjoy the movie. Fans are asked to please take care of the new turf and to clean up after themselves.
