December, 2009: Kristine Lilly visits South Shore Select:
 It was an exciting day at South Shore Select when Kristine Lilly appeared during Select’s Elite Clinic. The Elite Clinic is a special training program created and coached by Laurindo Lima, founder of South Shore Select. Kristine has been to several of the clinics teaching the players dribbling techniques as well as tactical training. The girls were very excited to have her on board. They love the training provided by the clinic but having Kristine Lilly there "was the best".
