Throughout September and October, the Los Angeles Rams celebrated Latino Heritage Month by hosting youth football and soccer clinics alongside Angel City Football Club (ACFC), Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) and the LA Galaxy.

The clinics featured character education segments where staff and players from all four professional teams provided words of encouragement and shared their journeys on making it professionally on and off the field. Rams Legend Roland Williams kicked off the clinic with LA Galaxy at both Hollenbeck Middle School in East Los Angeles and Stephen M. White Middle School in Carson.

"This is one of those moments where it's about teamwork and celebrating the game in a unique way," said Williams. "To even have the chance to benefit and grow from the heritage that comes from L.A., I think it's beautiful that the Rams are celebrating it."
Rams running back Blake Corum and Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson joined the celebration with LAFC at William Jefferson Clinton Middle School in South LA, participating in drills and interacting with students.

"I go back home to support the youth where I grew up in Georgia, so to do this in the community that I play football in, it means a lot to the kids," said Robinson. "It's important for them to see someone who plays football professionally and represents where they came from."

Corum touched further on how important it is for him and the Rams organization to be present in the community.

"It's a blessing and a very special day. The Los Angeles Rams make sure they're giving back to the Latino and Hispanic communities, especially during their month," said Corum. "It's really an honor to be out here and celebrate with these kids and make sure they're having fun."

The clinics with LA Galaxy and LAFC were sponsored by CalHOPE, BrightLife Kids and Soluna.

"CalHOPE is proud to partner with the Los Angeles Rams to host these clinics and give young athletes the tools they need to succeed both on and off the field," said Autumn Boylan, the Deputy Director of Strategic Partnerships at the California Department of Health Care Services. "Celebrating Latino Heritage Month, we're also honoring the rich cultures and values that make our community unique, empowering every young person to embrace their heritage with pride and strength."

The Rams hosted the fourth and final clinic of the month alongside ACFC with the support of both team's official healthcare partner, Cedars-Sinai. The clinic focused on girls' soccer and girls flag football.

"At Cedars-Sinai, we're committed to fostering healthy, vibrant communities, and partnerships like this allow us to celebrate diversity while empowering the next generation," said Jonathan Schreiber, Cedars-Sinai's vice president of Community Engagement. "Through these clinics, young athletes not only hone their skills but also build confidence and connection."
