Eastvale – Local youngsters will soon have the chance to learn the finer points of football and cheerleading at a free clinic taught by some of the region’s most dedicated athletes.
Vantage Point Church is joining forces with Roosevelt High School’s football team and cheerleading squad to coach 1st through 8th Graders during a two-hour camp on Fri., July 18.
The Friday Night Lights Football and Cheer Camp, which begins with check-in at 5 p.m., will feature fun activities for all ages. Campers and non-campers alike will be able to enjoy food, games, and an inflatable obstacle course throughout the evening.
The camp will be held between 6 and 8 p.m. Following the camp, there will be an outdoor movie for the entire family to enjoy.
“VantagePoint Church is thrilled to have this opportunity to help promote Eastvale pride,” said Monique Whritenour, director of the church’s community outreach efforts. “We are incredibly proud to team up with the wonderful people of Roosevelt Football who have been working hard to give back to their community through volunteer work and community events.”
According to organizers, the Friday Night Lights Football and Cheer Camp is designed to provide its participants with a free, positive sport and coaching experience. Roosevelt High School Football Coach, Tony Barile, will be heading up the camp and teaching a football clinic for more advanced players.
Young athletes of all skill levels are encouraged to attend and the first 300 campers will receive t-shirts.
“At VantagePoint Church, we are planning on making this a ‘Summer of Love’ for our community,” Whritenour said. “This is the first of several events we have scheduled that will enable us to be living proof of a loving God.”
The Friday Night Lights Football and Cheer Camp is also being sponsored by Eastvale Pop Warner, Eastvale Mustangs JAAF, Eastvale Nutrishop, CYSC All Stars, and Diamond Elite Gymnastics. For more information, call (909) 465-9700.
