Young athletes will get an up close look at a real training session, meet players, collect autographs, and take photos with team members.

The event was planned following the cancellation of Sporting JAX’s recent preseason matches due to severe weather and travel issues with their international opponents.

Sporting JAX makes its official debut in the USL Super League on Saturday, August 23, with a home opener against DC Power FC at Hodges Stadium. The match will stream live on Peacock.
