    EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern men's soccer hosted a free skills clinic in its continued partnership with Evanston AYSO on Saturday. Nearly 200 boys and girls from around the area in the 8th grade or younger took part in the successful event, and even Willie the Wildcat made a special guest appearance at the end for the participants.

    "We had a fantastic time today teaching our Wee Wildcats new soccer skills," said Northwestern head coach Tim Lenahan. "Our partnership with Evanston AYSO is an integral part of the Northwestern men's soccer program and we look forward to continuing this special relationship."

    After learning new skills and fundamentals, the Wee Wildcats were able to scrimmage against each other and play classic soccer games like "Sharks and Minnows" and "Crab Soccer."

    Looking to further the relationship with Evanston AYSO and the Wee Wildcats, the men's team will be hosting another clinic coming up in the fall. Keep an eye out for dates and more information here at NUsports.com!
