LFC Foundation put on an afternoon of fun for youngsters at Highmark Stadium, as they hosted their first soccer clinic of this summer’s pre-season tour at the home of Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC.

It was a memorable afternoon for the children, aged between 8 and 14, who were welcomed to Highmark Stadium and treated to an afternoon full of football with some surprise guests.

LFC Foundation were joined at the event by Liverpool FC CEO Billy Hogan, Chief Commercial Officer Ben Latty and Reds legend Sami Hyypia, who spent time talking to the children, getting photographs and even taking part in the football sessions.

Led by LFC Foundation staff, the young footballers were put through their paces with some training drills and mini games, alongside club mascot Mighty Red and Pittsburgh Rivershound's mascot AMO.

Billy Hogan, Liverpool FC CEO and Vice Chair LFC Foundation, said: “I’m delighted to be able to join LFC Foundation activities today, which involved local youngsters. There’s going to be a number of these events in each of the three cities we’re visiting, which showcases our commitment to community, and our desire to leave a lasting impression on fans wherever we go. We’re very proud of the community work we do as a club off the field of play, it’s so important to us.”

The soccer clinic is the first of a number of similar events hosted by LFC Foundation throughout the duration of this year’s pre-season tour, with more to follow in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Columbia
