The Old Spice Matt Ryan Football Camp (presented by Fifth Third Bank) was held at Centennial High School, this past Saturday 6/16. Approximately 125 campers (I spotted a few girls) attended – all via Merit Scholarship. They were able to participate in various drills and games, assisted by local high school coaches and Falcons QB Matt Ryan. I arrived at 10am to pick up my media credentials and the camp was in full swing with Matt running routes and throwing passes to the campers.
Along with teaching the fundamentals of football, it also reinforced working together as a team in their groups. The kids seemed to be having a great time and learning a lot as well. In the short video below, I captured the Campers (grouped by age), as they ran the heats for the Title of “Fastest Camper”.
