Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley recently hosted a youth football camp at North Penn High School in Lansdale, drawing hundreds of eager young athletes, reports Jennaphr Frederick for FOX 29 Philadelphia.
The huge event required major efforts from the organizer’s operations coordinator and team, with planning for the camp taking months.
Many volunteers were on hand, excited to share the field with a Super Bowl champion. The kids were amped up, many having undergone major preparations ahead of this opportunity.
“I ran sprints, ran a mile, ran laps,” said one of the young participants.
During the day, star running back Saquon Barkley, along with coaches from FlexWork – which organized the camp – provided kids with hands-on instruction in a fun and positive atmosphere. Camp activities included skill-building lectures, fundamental drills, and competitive stations designed to engage and challenge the participants.
Camp participants also received a team photo with Saquon Barkley and a Saquon Barkley FlexWork Football Camp T-shirt, giving them a special memento to remember the day.
Around 700 participants, ranging in age from 6 to 16 and properly divided into age groups, took part in the event.
