Join the Blitz Camps as we partner with AMBUCs to put on a youth football camp to benefit Rich Behm and his family. Rich was paralyzed
during the Dallas Cowboys practice facility collapse. All of the proceeds from this
event will go to benefit Rich and his family.
The camp is on Saturday, June 20th from 8 AM to 12 PM and the price is $60 per attendee.
The camp program is designed for boys and girls ages 8 - 14 to learn the fundamentals
of football and have a great time.
We are very pleased that former and current Dallas Cowboys scouts and player have
agreed to be coaches at this event. Players from the Dallas Diamonds, of the Independant
Women's Football League, have also volunteered their time to be coaches. Please
check out our Coaches page to get the latest updates on the coaches scheduled to
appear. The camp has been designed so that each attendee will work with all of our
coaches.
We are finalizing the location and will have updated information shortly. |

Blitz at Texas Stadium a huge success!
|
116 young football players braved the Dallas summer heat to come out to Texas Stadium for the Blitz. The players worked with some of the best professionals in football.
The coaches came from every level of professional football and included Randy White,
Deon Anderson and Jake Reed from the NFL, Will McClay, Clint Dolezel, Will Pettis,
Jeremy Calahan, Josh White and Jeff Chase from the AFL's Dallas Desperados and Lamont
Finley, Wes Cooper and Brad Frazier from the IFL's Frisco Thunder.
The event would not have been so successful if not for our great sponsors - The
Dallas Desperados, ESPN 103.3, Sugar Baby's Barbecue, Exact Sports and Aaron's Rental.
Aaron's made it possible for 50 inner city football players to attend the instructional
part of the Blitz.
The morning combine was presented by Exact Sports. The participants were introduced
to new technology-based drills that measured speed, strength and explosive power.
The young campers were impressed by the new technology.
During lunch, provided by Sugar Baby's Barbecue, the participants were treated to
a guest speaker, Don McPherson. Mr. McPherson spoke to the kids about the importance
of making the right decisions early in life. He gave examples from his own college
and pro career. The kids really related to Mr. McPherson's message. Gridiron Heroes
also spoke during lunch on the prevention of spinal cord injuries and to raise awareness
about their great organization.
The campers received a once in a lifetime opportunity. There aren't many people
in the world that can say that they worked with Randy White on the field at Texas
Stadium or ran a route with Jake Reed. This event will stay with these young players
forever.
