Mini Hawks, Major Hustle

Written By: Jadon McGee |

On Monday, the football team hosted the kids' football camp for rising 1st-6th graders interested in football. The kids were first split up into 3 groups: throwing, catching, and blocking, and rotated through. Next, they were split into 3 new groups: throwing, route running, and linebackers drills. However, the last 2 groups eventually swapped to agility drills with tackling and movement drills (I forgot the name). After that rotation, the kids were split up into 2 groups: the oldest three grades and the younger three grades to play a game of Coach Bowman's creation, Hawkball. Basically, it is similar to Ultimate Frisbee where 2 teams have to get the ball to the other end of 20 yards with 1 hand touch tackle, but if you get tagged, you have to not move and throw the ball to a teammate that is running around. It was a very fun but chaotic game for the kids to learn and play. In conclusion, the kids camp's first day was a major success.
