Free Crossover Clinic Brings Soccer and Basketball Together
Brooklyn FC and Brooklyn Basketball will co‑host a free soccer‑basketball crossover clinic on August 8 at the Brooklyn Basketball Training Center, located at 140 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. The event is open to children between six and seventeen and combines drills from both sports.
Each registered participant will receive a complimentary ticket to Brooklyn FC’s match against Birmingham Legion FC later that evening, scheduled for 7:00 PM at Maimonides Park. The game will feature a Beach Night theme, encouraging fans to wear swimwear and bring beach balls.
The clinic is presented in partnership with the New York Liberty, and draws on the expertise of NBA icons Hakeem Olajuwon and Grant Hill, who have previously highlighted how soccer training can sharpen basketball skills.
Organizers say the clinic aims to foster community engagement while showcasing the growing synergy between the city’s soccer and basketball communities. Spots are limited, and registration details are available on the Brooklyn FC website.
