Preparations continue for Thursday’s student presentations answering the question, “What makes a community strong?” Students have split into teams studying the effects of education, health, environment and other factors.

Football camp:
Campers began today’s session watching a USA Football video on “Heads-Up tackling”, educating the young players on a safer tackling technique meant to protect against head injuries.
After the video the focus was on the fundamentals of the game: blocking, throwing and catching. Campers divided into three age groups and played 7-on-7 games at the end of today’s session.
“This was a lot of fun. These kids are really getting after it,” said varsity assistant coach Ben Amorese.
Field hockey camp:
Today’s session focused on fundamentals as well, including stick work, tackling and dodging. The purpose of the camp is to keep building on those fundamentals.
“We want them to get a sense of the game and how to move the ball upfield using your teammates,” said junior varsity coach Becky Adolf. “If we can get a group of girls who enjoy playing and stick with the sport we’re going to have an amazing team.”
