The camp is invite only and will be held at the National Sports Centre from 9am to 3.30pm.BBFS CEO Cal Blankendal said: “It is important for coaches to come down and help the kids along their road.“When you look at how many kids play football, and you look at the numbers of those that go away and get a degree while on a football scholarship it is also high, but very few turn professional, so we are looking at turning that ratio.”Over 100 plus players and parents will receive information on SAT requirements and the process of becoming a student athlete and what it takes to become a professional football player.Schools participating include Clearwater Middle School, Dellwood Middle School, Mount Saint Agnes, Sandys Middle School, Somersfield Academy, T.N.
