Bernard Holsey, head football coach at Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School, is bringing in a number of his former NFL teammates to serve as coaches at a football skills camp next month.
The camp, for ages 8-18, will be held from 12-4:30 p.m. June 9 and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 10 at the Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School football field, 400 W. Grand Ave., Wittenberg.
The camp is limited to 150 participants; the registration deadline is May 21.
Campers will be divided into groups based on age and playing experience. They will learn various skills and be able to try different positions. There will be no hitting or tackling.
Holsey and the Wittenberg Birnamwood Area Youth Football Program recruited a number of local businesses as sponsors to keep the camper fee — $25 — affordable.
Breaks with drinks and snacks will be provided, and everyone will leave with a camp T-shirt.
