Youth from around Falls Church City and the surrounding area gathered last week to learn the basics of football, get in some pre-season conditioning, and meet potential teammates and coaches. Sixty-five young boys and girls participated in the Falls Church City Football Association camp that focused on basic blocking and tackling techniques, ball handling, and skill drills. Players spent two hours each day building skills for both flag football and the full contact version of the sport.
Open field running - every kid's dream.
The camp was created to help players between the ages of seven and fourteen learn and prepare for this complicated and physically demanding sport. The players sat through brief demonstrations, asked questions, and then performed the drills demonstrated. Each block of instruction concluded with a skill game.
Time in the trenches is a necessity.
Tom Horn, Director of George Mason Athletics, his staff, and several George Mason High School players volunteered their time to watch all of the campers closely. “I’m glad I can help teach the next generation of Mustang players,” one of the varsity helpers commented.
The FCCFA camp, yielding the next generation of footballers for GMHS.
Proceeds from the camp will go to fund a yearly scholarship and end-of-season awards ceremony, which are part of the FCCFA mandate. The scholarship will to to a graduating George Mason High School varsity player who best fits the community, character, and commitment ideals of the association. The awards ceremony will honor the best players from age groups within the flag football program as well as players from the three local clubs for the 2010 season.
