The first Walt Chyzowych Memorial Fund (WCMF) soccer clinic was organized and conducted by College of Charleston SC Soccer Coach Ralph Lundy on Memorial Day 1995.

Over 130 youngsters attended the Clinic raising $1800 for the WCMF. The clinic was staffed by a virtual “Who’s Who” of college, high school and NSCAA Academy and US Soccer Coaching School coaches including: Anson Dorrance, John Rennie, Gene Chyzowych, Ralph Polson and Nick Zlatar.

Since then clinics have been conducted nationwide including at Wake Forest University, U. of Alabama, Birmingham, Indiana University and at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla.

Coaches or others interested in hosting a WCMF Clinic should plan to adhere to the following Guidelines:

1. Total commitment from everyone involved.
2. Coach’s work for the clinic is a contribution, including expenses.
3. Fees with participants are flexible, accommodating everyone whenever possible.
4. Always scholarship disadvantaged participants.
5. There must be a dominant spirit of giving through soccer as demonstrated by Walt.

For further guidance and assistance, potential clinicians should contact WCMF Clinic Director Ralph Lundy at 843-953-8253 or 843-881-1841.
