Legends help deliver coaching sessions with Street Soccer USA

Four Liverpool legends visited the SS USA Hub in Charlotte, North Carolina to take part in the first skills session with 24 young female players.

Former Reds Sami Hyypia, Robbie Fowler, John Arne Riise and Ian Rush met with the participants to answer questions and sign autographs, before the girls enjoyed various football activities led by LFC's four female community coaches.

A series of five-a-side mini-matches against the ex-Reds concluded the fun-filled afternoon.

Later in the evening, 18 male youths – who are all refugees – attended a round-robin football tournament run by LFC and Street Soccer staff, before the club headed to New Jersey for the next leg of its US pre-season trip.
