Santos Laguna shared its football knowledge with over a hundred children in Baltimore during its US preseason tour. The clinic took place after the first team's sixth training session on American soil and is part of the club's community engagement efforts.
The young participants from the Coppermine Soccer organization first watched the professional training session of the squad led by Renato Paiva. They then split into several work stations where they interacted directly with Santos Laguna players and technical staff. The focus was on sport practice, teamwork, and discipline as pillars of athletic development.
Strategic alliance
The team's stay in Maryland is made possible by the strategic alliance between Orlegi Sports, the club's ownership group, and Coppermine. This organization is the leading youth sports provider in the state and serves over 2.4 million people annually through its programs and facilities. Orlegi contributes its philosophy and operational experience, while Coppermine provides specialized infrastructure and a talent development model.
The initiative aims to inspire and support the learning of new generations of footballers, connecting the club with communities beyond Mexico. As the team prepares for the resumption of Liga MX, these actions strengthen its social bonds.
Santos Laguna returns to official competition facing a tough sporting situation. The team sits 17th in the standings with just 4 points from eight games, the result of one win, one draw, and six defeats. Their recent form includes an average of 0.5 points per game over the last six matchdays. Their next fixture is an even greater challenge: an away match against leaders Toluca on September 21. The team has conceded 15 goals so far this tournament.
