This week’s camp was hosted by Olney High School’s [OHS] head football coach, Jason Powers. Coach Powers along with fellow coach Casey Keeter and a slew of seasoned Varsity Football Cubs put on a mini training camp for Cub football. The goal, according to Coach Powers, is to teach a few fundamentals but more importantly to get children excited for football. The camp had several stations set up teaching future Cubs different fundamentals, a forty-yard dash for receivers and special teams, a throwing station to see who has skills as a future quarterback,
triple option-for future running backs and centers, a catching station and the Cub blow-up helmet tunnel to see what it feels like to run out of the tunnel as a Cub.
