Tommy Bohanon Foundation youth football camp at North Fort Myers High School set for June 13
Registration is now open for the 10th annual Tommy Bohanon Foundation youth football camp, set to kick off on Saturday, June 13, at North Fort Myers High School.
Campers will expand their love and knowledge of football with the help of experienced coaches providing hands-on training, including NFL-style drills that also lay a solid foundation for good sportsmanship.
The session starts at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 1 p.m. at the high school stadium. Student athletes in first through eighth grades in Southwest Florida are eligible to participate.
Athletes should wear shorts and a T-shirt and bring socks and football cleats – sneakers are acceptable if the athlete does not have cleats. Participants should also bring a refillable water bottle.
Lunch will be provided by Tropical Smoothie Café, and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office will have sweet treats for all participants at the end of the day. There is no cost to take part.
“This is where it all began for us, with a football camp 10 years ago, and it’s truly one of the highlights of our year,” said Foundation President Tommy Bohanon. “There’s nothing better than seeing the kids out on the field, smiling and enjoying themselves, while they grow their skills in the game and pick up meaningful life lessons along the way.”
