Weyburn Minor Football (WMF) is helping young athletes hone their abilities at their MNP Skills Development Camp. Head coach of the U12 Weyburn Ravens Brad Hillstead says the camps run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for all athletes, regardless of if they're registered for the fall football season.
“For those registered, it will be a $5 session, or you can get a 10-pass punch card for $50. If you are not registered for the season, it's going to be $100.”
The camp is a development opportunity for any athlete of any skill level and open for those ages eight to 13.
“This is for anybody who wants to try football, anybody who wants to get in shape for hockey or anything like that, some dry land training. Any level of skill is accepted.”
Every evening will include on-field skills development, cardio, training, and scrimmages. Attendees should make sure to bring cleats or running shoes, water, and bug spray.
Each camp, running Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., will be led by Hillstead and other WMF alumni. The camps will run until mid-August. New attendees can simply show up at the camps or find more information on their Instagram or Facebook pages.
