The clinic will take place Sunday, Oct. 8, Andre Reed Stadium on the campus of Kutztown University. PA Revs All-Starz is an adaptive, disability-inclusive field hockey team. This is the first time they will be participating on a college campus. "We are so honored to be able to host the first college adaptive clinic at Kutztown University in conjunction with the PA Revolution Field Hockey Club," said KU head coach Marci Scheuing.
