History

In June 2015, National Basketball Association (NBA) star Carmelo Anthony bought an expansion franchise in the North American Soccer League, to be based in Puerto Rico. The team, named Puerto Rico FC, will debut in the 2016 fall season.[2] On August 14, 2015, Adrian Whitbread was announced as the clubs inaugural coach,[3] with Thomas Payne being appointed as president on November 10, 2015.[4][5]

Commitment to the Community

As part of their commitment to the community on May 2016, Puerto Rico FC had their first three clinics of the season in Dorado, Farjardo and Hatillo with the participation of over a hundred boys and girls. During these clinics the Puerto Rico FC players turned into coaches, teaching the children about ball control, proper goalkeeping and teamwork. After the different workshops the children faced off against the players in a friendly match. The field of Quintas de Dorado was the site of the first clinc with youth clubs Eleven FC and Toa Baja SC. Next, Puerto Rico FC visited the Tomás Donés Sports Complex and the boys and girls of Cariduros FC. To round up the first leg of clinics the players took a trip to Hatillo where they trained with Hatillo SC and Leal Arecibo in the Francisco Deida Sports Complex.[6]
