As the summer football camp season continues, Apex Creation Enterprise in conjunction with the Day II Day Foundation took their turn at teaching football last Saturday at Lincoln High School’s Vic Player Stadium.
Kids from elementary and middle school were invited to attend the free camp to learn some football fundamentals and some drills to enhance their skills.
“I especially like this age group because they are not as narrow minded yet, as older kids and adults can be, and they are very expressive at this stage in life,” ACE CEO and camp instructor Neno Jones shared.
“We want to catch them now and teach them some important facts about life and how to succeed in life, with or without sports,” continued Jones. “The football camp is one of our ways to work with them. We will be doing more camps and a lot more events in the future.”
The campers were able to run, catch, throw, and learn some new football techniques from some of Lincoln’s State Championship coaching staff.
“I came here today to help me get better at football so I can go to college, hopefully at SDSU,” happy camper Gregory Mills of Holly-drive leadership Academy said. “My Grandpa coaches here (J. Stutts) and he has a lot of Championship trophies and medals. I learned a lot today. It was fun. I would definitely come back again.”
