July 15, 2026-Players from across the the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) were given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a skills clinic at Rockefeller Center with FIFA Women’s World Cup champion Kristine Lilly, former USWNT standout Kristie Mewis and former USMNT goalkeeper Brad Friedel.
Hosted by Panini, the clinic gave young players the chance to learn from three legends of the game while also receiving a Panini sticker album and trading stickers to help fuel their passion for soccer during this historic World Cup summer.
A special thank you to the FIFA World Cup 26™ New York-New Jersey Host Committee for the invitation and for providing this unforgettable experience for our players.
