Soccer clinics scheduled at Kailua Beach

The 55-minute clinics help develop kids' soccer skills, coordination and cooperation

SoccerKidsUSA, a children's fitness program, will hold clinics for boys and girls next month at Kailua Beach Park.

The 55-minute clinics are described as fun and high-energy, aimed at kids 3 to 8 years old. The program helps kids develop their soccer skills, coordination, cooperation and learning abilities through imaginitive games and activities.

Two of SoccerKidsUSA's primary officers are managing director Arielle Jessel and director of coaching Kari Morioka. "Giving back is such a natural part of growing up in Hawaii," Morioka said.

SoccerKidsUSA has scheduled six clinics the weekend of Sept. 8-9.
