FC Tucson will host the first of three summer βBarrio 2 Barrioβ events Thursday at North Santa Cruz Park in Sahuarita.
FC Tucson players are scheduled to appear at the event, which will also feature painting stations, games, music, contests and giveaways. Along with presenting sponsor Arizona Health, FC Tucson will host a youth soccer clinic for kids aged 6-12, along with physical and mental health wellness checks. The clinic is free, though parents must register their children online at FCTucson.com/community as space is limited.
The club will also host βBarrio 2 Barrioβ celebrations Aug. 28 and Sept. 8.
