Harlem, New York - As part of their commitment to promote a healthy lifestyle for kids, Citi for the second consecutive year has partnered againwith the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) as they kicked off the WPS 2011 season with their "Get Active with Citi Soccer Kids" community program for the children in Harlem.

Citi and WPS has every intention of hosting additional Get Active with Citi Soccer Kids clinics throughout this season as part of the WPS league-wide platform to promote First Lady Michelle Obama’s nationwide campaign against childhood obesity.

Representing the WPS was the 2009 WPS Champions SKY Blue FC. Prior to the Sky Blue FC kicking off their 2011 Women's Professional Soccer League campaign in a 2-2 tie against the Philadelphia Independence, midfielder Allie Long and defender-midfielder Kendall Flectcher helped Citi run this successful soccer clinic in Harlem where 60 children between the ages 8-12 participated.
