NCAA Football Youth Day Clinics
This summer marked the third year that the NCAA Football Youth Initiative partnered with bowls in various cities to bring young football players together with coaches and student-athletes for a half-day session of agility drills, offensive and defensive training, and character development. NCAA Football partnered with the bowls to ensure that clinic attendees had the best experience possible as they received instruction from college football coaches and participated in a series of drills that collegiate student-athletes perform to learn the fundamentals of the game.
NCAA Football Youth Day Clinics began in New Orleans in 2007 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Since its inception, the program has continued to expand each year. This summer, 19 bowls in 17 cities participated. New host cities included Arlington, Texas; Birmingham, Ala.; Charlotte, N.C.; El Paso, Texas; Jacksonville, Fla.; Orlando; Pasadena, Calif.; San Diego; San Francisco; Shreveport, La.; St. Petersburg, Fla.; and Washington, D.C.
