Washington, D.C. - The Washington Spirit will host its second annual Open Training Fan Event on Sunday, June 21 on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. The event, held during the NWSL's June break and during the World Cup, is free to attend and will feature a unique opportunity to watch the Spirit train up-close with tons of fun, family-friendly activations to celebrate Father's Day.
This year's Open Training festivities will begin at 3:00 p.m. with training beginning at 4:00 p.m. at George Mason Stadium. Members will have first access to tickets on May 11 before access to the general public opens on May 18.
