Bobo Bokole (DPL & Girls Classic Director) and Luis Satorra (MLS NEXT Academy Director & Boys Classic Director) traveled to Indio, California to take part in the MLS NEXT Culture Coordinator Program, as part of the MLS NEXT FEST taking place December 2-8.

"MLS NEXT Culture Coordinators will be responsible for providing training to all players with the goal of building an inclusive, safe and supportive club culture. They will serve as the point of contact for "cultural" issues at the club. Training topics include racial and ethnic discrimination, gender related harassment, bullying behaviors, and emotional and physical misconduct".

The club felt by having both our Girls and Boys Directors at this program, will allow the club to continue to move forward by providing that safe and supportive club culture.  Luis and Bobo will begin to work not only with our staff, but also begin to work with our players to have a better understanding of how to create this culture.
