Football mini-camps on tap

    Houlton area youth will be given the opportunity to take part in pre-season mini-camps to learn the fundamentals of football prior to the beginning of the season. Clinics will be conducted by the Houlton High School, junior high and peewee coaches for prospective players in grade 7-8 and peewee, grades 4-6.
    Dates for the events are Saturday, July 14 and Saturday, July 28 from 10 am to noon at the Lowery Field at Houlton Southside School. Fundamental agilities, skills and football techniques will be instructed. Players should arrive with shorts, cleats and water or sports drink. All drills will be non-contact and fun for those involved. Players who have not signed up yet are invited to attend. Registrations forms will be available on site.
    The Houlton High School varsity football team will be holding preseason clinics each Monday and Wednesday throughout the month of July, beginning on Monday, July 9. Clinics will run from 6-8 p.m. at the Lowery Field at Houlton Southside School. All prospective student athletes are invited to attend whether they have previously signed up or not. These workouts are extremely important to the future success of the team as the program transitions form club status to the varsity high school level.
    As always, players, coaches, officials and other volunteers are encouraged to contact Brian Reynolds at 532-8403 if interested in participating in the program.
