Future Sports Stars: Mark Your Calendars

Young athletes throughout the region will have the opportunity to train with some of the best as Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute hosts Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN)’s Impact Athlete summer clinic series. The free clinics are being offered at various locations throughout the region during the summer.

LVHN Impact Athletes are professional and collegiate athletes who want to inspire and lead the youth in our community. Some LVHN Impact Athletes hosting summer clinics include professional football wide receiver Jahan Dotson, Villanova women’s soccer player Rylee Donaldson and University of Florida track star Talitha Diggs.

The goal of the series is to provide young athletes with a chance to work with their role models and continue to improve their game through a variety of skills and drills. LVHN Impact Athletes look forward to mentoring their young counterparts.

“Growing up in this area, there were so many people that I looked up to,” Diggs says. “I want to be that person and role model for other kids in the area and strive to do great things as well.”

Each LVHN Impact Athlete clinic will focus on a specific sport and include drills to help young athletes improve their skill level. Advance registration is required, and each participant will receive a free T-shirt and Gatorade upon check-in.
