Up and coming football stars, here’s a chance to chisel those skills and gain some turf experience from elite players.
The Seattle Seahawks’ Luke Willson is holding his Youth Football Camp next week at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium, providing valuable learning experience for kids eight to 18 years of age.
Open to those who are new to the sport and the well-versed, this non-contact camp is geared toward introducing and refining fundamentals, with participants grouped by age and experience.
Each player will have opportunities to test their abilities in fun drills at a variety of stations with instruction from local coaches, with a non-contact scrimmage wrapping up the day’s event.
Those attending will receive lunch, a T-shirt, a water bottle, digital photo with the Seahawks tight end and a swag bag of goodies.
After lunch the campers will get to participate in a Q & A with Willson and his special guests, who include Jermaine Kearse, Darrell Bevell, Jim Zorn and Sean Locklear, among others.
The camp, which costs $82, runs June 25 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Swangard Stadium.
It’s part of a host of fundraising and sports events the Ontario native is putting on in Canada, with proceeds going towards Special Olympics B.C., Pacific Salmon Foundation and youth football.
