Fun was fare of day at youth football camp
By SAM DAVIS

The first two years of the
Winston-Salem Youth Football
Camp taught Bill Oakley a les
son.
"The first thing is that foot
ball is a sport that kids love to
play, and it doesn't matter how
old you are," Oakley said.
Oakley, who recently took an
assistant coaching position at
Davie County High, said he was
thrilled to see the number of
participants show up this year.
Nearly 100 kids were on hand on
June 28-29 at Mount Tabor High
School. The kids were divided
into two groups, with the older
kids (ages 10-15) and the
younger ones' (6-9) alternating
on offense and defense.
The young group spent June
28 going to offensive stations
where they learned techniques
on each position. The older
group spent the session on
defense. The following day the
campers switched, with ttie
young group on defense and the
older group on offense. Each
camper received instruction
from each of the camp coaches
in their respective areas of
expertise. At the end of both
days the campers were allowed
to choose a position that they
wanted to play. *
Most of the campers have
been introduced to football in
the local Pop Warner leagues.
Several junior varsity programs
in the county were also repre
sented. Oakley said the empha
sis was on teaching techniques
and drills to improve each play
er's skills. But that wasn't the
only thing emphasized.
"I think the most important
thing is that the kids had fun,"
Oakley said. "We didn't want
anyone to come to this camp and
not be allowed to just have fun i
and enjoy the session." <
In the first two years, the
camp was held from 8 a.m. to i
noon. This year the hours were
:hanged to 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
"I think that had a lot to do
with the turnout," Oakley said.
"I think the hours allowed the
parents to bring the kids and
watch them. I thought the par
ticipation by the parents was
tremendous. Most of them
brought their chairs out and just
relaxed and watched their kids."
Oakley said the coaches who
facilitated the camp were anoth
er reason for its success. They
included head coaches DeAnge
lo Bell of Parkland and Greg
Gentry of Mount Tabor and
assistants Lonnie Pulley of
Parkland, David Atkins of
Reynolds, Chad Groover of
Davie County and Dave
McConnell of West Forsyth.
"It seems like the staff gets
better each year," Oakley said.
"We have guys who are really
concerned about the kids and
make the session interesting and
fun."
Oakley said he didn't know
what the future holds far the
camp, but he hopes it can con
tinue to grow and prosper.
"We're looking forward to
bigger and better things," Oak'r
ley said. "We don't know whaj
direction the camp will take, but
we just hope that we can help the
kids enjoy something that prob
ably isn't as complicated as a lot
of coaches make it out to be." .
