The Orange County Soccer Club treated its youngest fans to an afternoon of special fun before Saturday’s match.
A Touch-A-Truck event let kids scamper around all kinds of heavy machinery, such as a crane, an armored BearCat and a helicopter, even sitting behind the wheels and making some things move.
The club went on to tie the Miami FC, its seventh draw for the season. The team next travels to play the LA Galaxy II on Saturday, July 23, and is next at home on July 30 against the San Diego Loyal SC. The team plays in the Irvine Great Park’s Championship Soccer Stadium.
