[MARCH 31, 2005]  NORMAL -- The Illinois State women's soccer team will host a developmental soccer clinic on Sunday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the PCSL Fields. The clinic is open to boys and girls eighth grade and younger and will provide instruction on the fundamentals of the game of soccer.

The clinic, which will have Illinois State soccer coaches Pete Kowall, Stacy Welp and Jenny Kehl and the Redbird women's soccer players on hand, will provide direction and aid in the development of soccer fundamentals through passing, dribbling, shooting, heading and other fundamentals.

The PCSL Fields are located behind the Bloomington-Normal Regional Airport on Ireland Grove Road.

The cost of the clinic is $10 per person. There will be no preregistration, and those planning to attend the clinic should meet at the PCSL soccer fields prior to the start of the clinic.

The Illinois State women's soccer program recently put on a developmental clinic in the Chicago area in memory of Julie Heideke, a former Illinois State women's soccer player who died in an automobile accident in 1998. This year the clinic was well-attended, with 50 local area kids participating. Illinois State soccer coaches and players traveled to the Chicago area to instruct at the clinic.

In addition to honoring Heideke each year through the clinic near her hometown, the ISU women's soccer program presents the Heideke Award to a Redbird player who follows Heideke's path in commitment, spirit, determination, leadership, sportsmanship, academics, morality and concern for others. The presentation is made at a women's soccer game. Cheryl Sarnwick, who played for the Redbirds from 2000-03, won the 2004 Heideke Award.
