Clinics 4ATX Returns for Year Six, Presented by St. David’s HealthCare

Clinics 4ATX, presented by St. David’s HealthCare, is back for its sixth year, continuing an annual partnership making soccer more accessible for youth across Central Texas. 

Through the program, more than 650 children ages 7-11 will take part in free clinics designed to introduce the game in a welcoming, supportive environment. Each session is led by 4ATX coaches, infusing their positive youth development curriculum with engaging soccer activities, creating space not just to play, but to grow.   

Participants also meet Austin FC players and leave with their very own 4ATX and St. David’s HealthCare co-branded soccer ball, giving them a tangible memento to carry the experience forward.  

Since launching in 2019, the partnership has reached more than 3,500 youth across the region, giving them an opportunity to continue to ignite their passion for the game. 

“We’re so excited for another year bringing 4ATX’s style of soccer to Central Texas families.” Said 4ATX Executive Director Kaitlin Mauro. “This program continues to showcase the best of our partnership with St. David’s HealthCare, and we can’t wait to welcome new faces in 2026.”

“Through our continued partnership with 4ATX, St. David's HealthCare is proud to help create opportunities for Central Texas youth to be active, build confidence and experience the joy of the game,” Denise Bradley, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Affairs at St. David’s HealthCare, said. “Clinics 4ATX is about more than soccer, it’s about meeting kids where they are, removing barriers to participation, and investing in the long-term health and well-being of the communities we serve.”

By working alongside local schools, community organizations, and public partners, the program focuses on reaching youth who may not otherwise have access to organized sports. This year’s collaborators include Austin ISD, Austin Parks and Recreation, Bastrop ISD, Boys & Girls Club of the Greater Austin Area, Del Valle ISD, Manor ISD, MLS GO, Spark Learning, and Travis County Parks Foundation.  

Registration is now open for the first public clinic on May 6th at Southeast Metropolitan Park.  

Additional clinic dates and locations will be announced throughout the year.
