Fontbonne Men's & Women's Soccer Host "SPENSA Soccer Saturday"

ST. LOUIS - The Fontbonne University men's and women's soccer programs hosted a "SPENSA Soccer Saturday" event on Saturday, September 22, during the Griffins' game against Millikin University.

At halftime of the men's game, SPENSA members participated in a scrimmage to highlight the organization. The Special Needs Soccer Association, SPENSA, is a Not-for-Profit, St. Louis-based soccer program for young people with disabilities. This program is open to any boy or girl with a disability, ages 5-21. It is designed to bring the excitement and fun of playing soccer to players who traditionally have not had a place in the youth soccer system. Games are normally played at the Anheuser Busch Soccer Park. The park is located at I-270 and Highway 44. SPENSA is free of charge to all of these very special children.
