DAYTON, Ohio - The University of Dayton men's soccer team has recently wrapped up a series of volunteer experiences with young soccer players in Trotwood, Ohio. The Flyers volunteered once a week for six weeks over the fall helping the players better learn the game of soccer.

The soccer program began this experience after being contacted by a mother whose daughters had attended the UD Soccer Academy in the summer. She was affiliated with the Board Members of Trotwood Say Soccer and felt a need for some help with their teams. She emailed the men's soccer staff explaining their need and they were more than happy to lend a helping hand.

During their volunteer time various coaches and players would instruct the young players on the game. The Flyers would work on fundamentals and attempt to build a base for the young athletes to grow on. The players would adapt their instruction to account for the various talent levels of each child and would also keep things entertaining and fun for all the players involved.

"Things become very serious here during the season and this was a good opportunity for the guys to just let loose and have a good time," said assistant coach Kiki Lara. "The players get to see the city that they represent and get a chance to remember what is truly important here." Overall the coaches felt like this was a great experience for the children as well as for the Flyer players.

Copa del Rey Huge Success! See you next year.
