The Green Bay Packers today announced details for the team's Youth Football Camps that will take place in June and July at six locations in Wisconsin.
The program, designed for boys and girls ages 6 to 14 years old, features non-contact skill instruction over the course of five days. Five full-day camps and one half-day camp are offered.
The camps, now in their fifth consecutive year, are led by professional educators, college coaches and Green Bay Packers alumni players such as Johnnie Gray, Dexter McNabb, Bill Schroeder and Paul Rudzinski.
Instructors will teach kids how to throw, catch, defend, form block, form tackle, compete, run and explode out of a stance with proper technique and improved skills. With a station-based training format, every football position is taught in detail.
In addition to developing football skills, the program emphasizes many of the life skills taught by the game such as sportsmanship, nutrition, teamwork, self-esteem and having fun. Great off-the-field programs include Eat like a Pro, The Chief Scout Fantasy Draft, The Brett Favre Story and Five Questions with a Hero.
