The Kaneland United Soccer Club and Kaneland Youth Soccer Organization are hosting a Town Hall Meeting and Parent Concussion and Youth Sports Injury Management Seminar on Tuesday, March 24, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Elburn Lions Club, 500 Filmore St.

A parent concussion and youth sports injury management seminar will be led by Rich DeCarlo of the Elburn Accelerated Rehab/Athletico clinic.

Town hall topics include introduction of new club leadership, direction of the club, club branding, development of the McNair 2 site and parent questions and answers.

Prior to the town hall meeting, the Elburn Lions are hosting their monthly spaghetti dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. The dinner is free, though donations are appreciated.

KYSO and Kaneland United SC provide Big Rock, Elburn, Hinckley, Kaneville, Maple Park, Sugar Grove, and Virgil youth with recreational and competitive soccer opportunities. Programs teach soccer through the use of smaller teams and fields, maximizing participation by all. The program also allows young players to learn and enjoy soccer in a positive and fun environment, usually in their own community with the same children with whom they go to school. Programs emphasize fun and de-emphasizes winning at all costs. Every child is guaranteed playing time and the game is taught in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere.
