First Lady Michelle Obama joined the US Soccer Foundation and others at a soccer clinic in Washington DC to highlight the Let’s Move! campaign and the importance of children getting 60 minutes of active play each day. This event will build on Major League Soccer’s support of Let’s Move! by expanding outreach and participation in youth soccer and education efforts on the importance of eating well and staying active. Soccer is the number one sport among America’s youth, with 4 million young boys and girls registered to play across the country. Since its creation in 1994, the US Soccer Foundation, which is the major philanthropic arm of US Soccer, has funded more than 489 youth programs and helped build more than 1,200 soccer fields. Check out the First Lady kicking it.
