Falcons football camp pays a visit
070610 BG FALCONS 03web
Even on a blazing hot day, Statesboro kids got a chance to get a good workout in as they participated in the Gatorade Junior Training Camp sponsored by the Atlanta Falcons Tuesday at the Boys and Girls Club and at Mill Creek Regional Park. The camp — which is part of the National Football League’s “Play 60” initiative — serves to educate children on the importance of physical fitness by encouraging them to play outside for at least an hour every day. While the program has been in place with the NFL for almost a decade, the Falcons have a long-standing tradition of encouraging youth around the state to be more active.
