Indoor soccer training company Soccerroof is one of 18 businesses participating in Summer of Sport, a sports training campaign celebrating the Olympics in the Long Island City community.
Laura Rothrock, president of the Long Island Partnership, organizers of the event, says, “We are the fastest growing neighborhood in the city and we want our people to not only watch the Olympics at home but to get outside and exercise as a family.”
