The Eagle football team and coaching staff wrapped up a two day youth camp on June 21st.
This camp was open to the entire community of athletes ages 7 years old on up to rising 8th graders. We had over 130 youth participate.
We are thankful for the 35 player coaches that came out to assist our 8 IHS coaches and the 3 Heritage coaches that joined us as well. We appreciate your dedication and time to support our community.
The two day camp focused on the fundamentals of both sides of the ball. It gave every attendee an opportunity to be on offense and defense. All the drills gave specific knowledge to each position being highlighted. There was also an obstacle course, speed and agility drills plus plenty of water breaks to keep everyone safe in the heat. The last day allowed the attendees to break into teams and run a 7 on 7 scrimmage to apply the skills that they had learned.
The first day wrapped up with a guest appearance from our own Assistant Principal Kevin Dyson, former Tennessee Titan football player. Mr Dyson spoke about the importance of not taking the opportunity to attend events such as the youth camp for granted. Hard work, dedication and giving your best effort 100% of the time will lead you to greatness both on and off the field.
The second day guests feature The Katinas. (www.thekatinas.com). The five brothers that make up the award winning Christian band Sam, Joe, James, John and Jesse all attended our final day. No only do the brothers have a way of cutting through the noise of life straight into your heart, Joe Katina spoke to our campers about “What is the HEART of a Champion?”
