In June 2023, the Bears launched an impressive initiative that encompassed 13 clinics across six UK cities. This mirrored their efforts from 2022 when they successfully held an equal number of clinics in eight different locations throughout the UK.
Recent participant Tillman recently experienced his inaugural Mini Monsters clinic in the UK and expressed enthusiasm about contributing to the Bears’ ongoing initiatives overseas.
“When considering sports on a global scale, it’s evident that soccer holds the title as the most popular due to its accessibility,” Tillman noted. “All you need is something like a ball—no extensive equipment required—for kids worldwide to practice and hone their skills. I truly appreciate what organizations like the NFL are doing by staging events not only in Europe but also extending into Brazil and South America. They are genuinely working towards making this sport a global phenomenon.”
“I’m passionate about Mini Monsters Clinics,” he added. “We’re sharing our culture and sport with friends across international borders, fostering camaraderie through our shared love for football.”
This commitment not only showcases sporting diversity but also emphasizes building community connections by nurturing future talents both in American football and beyond.
