From 10:30am-3:30pm the camp will be led by former MCPS player and or 480 past members as a community give back event to give back, support the game of football and inspire the next generation. Mr. Joseph Hooks, known as Coach Hooks has led many large scale events and is an advocate for football in the county that currently provides no funding to secure the sports success. He hopes to have families vote, then take their child to a free camp and show how much football is a loved sport no matter the skill level.
He hopes to invite youth football organizations out to host a table to market their program so any parent or kid can know where to play.
Coach Hooks didn’t play until 7th grade for MVSA and believes the game of football needs more support from the government or private sector to keep the game growing and include girls in programs that could start in middle school as a sport.
Coaches leading the skills and drills will be names like UMD Terp Kaden Prather, former Ball State Marquez Cooper, WVU alumni $ NFL prospect Wesley McCormick, former CFL Dejuan Cooper, Syracuse Donovan Brown, Lock Haven Khalil Owens, Robert Morris Dante Burris, CCSU Isiah Williams, Harold Miles, Toddries Baltimore and more that will also offer an autograph session.
The event will have food trucks, music, Photo Booth and special guest from local government and or the NFL if schedule permits (Chop Robinson)
