Mentor High School Football Coaches Hosting Youth Camp This Summer

Coaches and players from the football team will lead a summer camp for elementary students.

First- through sixth-graders can learn about the game's essentials during the four-day camp that begins June 27 and ends June 30 at Mentor High's stadium and practice field.

A typical day at camp would begin at 9 a.m. with announcements and warmups. Then, the students would receive about 30 minutes each of individual offensive and defensive position instruction. Next, the campers would spend about 30 minutes working on punting, kicking, longsnapping, passing and catching.

Afterward, kids would test their skills with standard exercises like the 40-yard dash and shuttle runs.

Finally, each day would end with a touch football competition from 11:30 a.m. to noon.

Campers need to have a water bottle, rubber spikes, T-shirt and shorts.

Also, all campers receive a T-shirt and a student pass to all Mentor High School football games.

Those who are interested should write out a check for $60 to The Redline Club. Checks and camp registration should be mailed to: MHS Athletic Department Attn: Steve Trivisonno 6477 Center Street Mentor, OH 44060.
