June 17 – HAHIRA – Friday marked the conclusion of the Little Valiant Football Camp at Valwood School. The event brought together around 30 enthusiastic young people, from kindergarten to 5th grade.
Coach Brad Wells coordinated the camp and ensured that participants received a comprehensive and fun introduction to the fundamentals of football.
“I think it’s important to introduce them and show them that with football, it’s going to take a lot of work, but you can also have a lot of fun doing it,” Wells said.
Throughout the week, campers participated in various practices and games designed to teach essential football skills. The program emphasized participation, attitude and teamwork, core values that Wells and his team firmly believe in.
Campers were divided into age-appropriate groups, allowing each child to receive personalized attention and instruction tailored to their skill level. Camp activities included fundamental drills on lineman training, tackling, catching and more.
A camp like this requires a lot of hands and support to run smoothly. In addition to Wells and his assistant coaches, many players on Valwood’s football team volunteered to help. Their involvement ensured that the camp ran efficiently and provided the young campers with valuable role models.
“We didn’t pressure anything. I was really pleased to see so many kids showing up and wanting to give back and help these kids,” Wells said.
Valwood School’s commitment to promoting youth sport and encouraging physical activity was evident in the success of the Little Valiant Football Camp. As campers left camp, each carried with them a new set of football skills and memories of a week filled with laughter, camaraderie and the joy of playing.
