SPORTS BRIEFS: South Putnam plans youth/middle school football camp

Monday, May 28, 2018

South Putnam will have its 5th annual youth/middle school football camp on June 18-21 from 6-8 p.m. for incoming students in grades K-8.

Coach Nathan Aker and his staff will be directing the camp, which emphasizes proper fundamentals such as blocking, USA Heads Up tackling, Hawk tackling, receiving, passing, ball security, long snapping, kicking/punting and — most importantly — leadership and character development.

Cost is $25, which includes a T-shirt and camp photograph.

Make checks payable to “South Putnam Athletics,” and return to coach Aker at South Putnam High School.

For more information, contact middle school coach Brandon Foxx at brandonrfoxx@gmail.com or high school head coach Coach Aker at naker@sputnam.k12.in.us or 765-653-3148 ext. 233.

The camp will be at South Putnam’s Mark Wildman Field.

The registration form/permission slip can be found at sputnamathletics.com/football# under “program links.”

Please return permission slip and payment to coach Aker at South Putnam High School by June 8.

Walkup registrations are allowed, but camp T-shirts are not guaranteed.

Aker is hopeful all future South Putnam Eagles will participate, and he looks forward to “welcoming you to the brotherhood of South Putnam football.”
