Next Friday, the San Francisco 49ers Youth Football staff will be at Ruskin talking to the 2nd-5th graders about the NFL's Play 60 program and hosting a "mini-camp" to expose the students to some exercises and activities football players do. Here's a brief description of the day's activities:
"We (SF 49ers Youth Football staff) focus on PLAY 60 which is being active for 60 minutes day. We give positive messages about working hard and teamwork. We provide all the equipment... We bring the kids together for an introduction (PLAY 60 message) and warm up with dynamic stretching. We have 4 stations that the kids will rotate through. A QB drill, RB drill, WR drill and proper tackling drill. The organizations volunteers might need to run a drill with help from the 49ers youth football staff. A Gatorade hydration station is available during breaks. The camp is all non-contact and has very basic teaching points. As we wrap up we have a little conclusion on what we learned. Overall it is roughly a 1 ½ hr camp from intro to conclusion."
Before your child can participate in this awesome event, you will need to sign and return a Parent Release/Consent form. I will give it to your child tomorrow.
When the form is signed and returned, please make sure your child is dressed for the event and has a great attitude for it! Media may be on-hand.
