Soccer Programs Have Big Hearts — Haiti Support


I have a great deal of respect for Steve McCrath, Head Men’s Soccer Coach at Barry University and Richie Grant, Head Men’s Soccer Coach at the University of Memphis. They are fantastic coaches — insightful, motivating, and wicked smart.

Furthermore, Coach Grant and Coach McCrath have represented what it means to be a “coach” by taking their guidance “off the field”. Both programs are running charitable relief efforts to support recovery from the tragedy in Haiti. We applaud (and support) their efforts as well as the many other teams that similarly are lending a hand. Below are the charity events the schools invite you to attend along with the website for further information.

    My compliments and many thanks to Simon Clements, Barry and Gregg Tarter and Exact Sports! Their support of the Haiti Relief Kicks match has been wonderful and we’re blessed to be able to give to the town of Jacmel (1 hour south of Port-au-Prince) supplies to create joyful soccer memories during this difficult time.
    It’s great that Calvary Church Ft. Lauderdale has adopted Jacmel and to be associated with both Calvary and Exact will be an incredible blessing to all parties!
