In the next two months, the trio will work with Golden Valley, White Bear Lake, Fridley Heights, Orono, Waconia, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Brainerd, Rochester and Champlin Park Soccer Clubs.
In addition to the tour, the Golden Gophers will once again host a free clinic at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium with the Minnesota Women's Soccer League (MWSL) on May 14th at 8: 30 p.m. The free clinic continues a strong relationship with the Golden Gophers and the MWSL.
