A Community Road Trip
In an effort to promote youth football and physical activity, the Atlanta Falcons Community Relations department visited Columbus and Macon last week and put on an Atlanta Falcons Gatorade Junior Training Camp.
Over the course of three days, the Falcons put on four camps in these locations.
These camps were held at local park and recreation departments as well as summer camps in the area. Each camps last typically for about 90 minutes and gives children a chance to learn about basic football techniques, the benefits of being physical active and proper hydration. Over 300 children got a chance to experience the Atlanta Falcons Gatorade Junior Training Camp.
Special Operations Manager for the Macon-Bibb County Parks & Recreation Department Reggie Moore enjoys the camp and feels there is a lot of benefit to the Falcons hosting these camps.
“This is probably the fifth time the Falcons have been down here in the past two years putting on the Gatorade Junior Training Camp,” Moore said. “The kids get a lot from these camps and love the chance to do some of the drills that a lot of the Falcons players do during the season to prepare for a game. Best part about these camps is anybody can participate and they don’t have to have any football experience. It’s a great camp to expose children to football.”
