Interested in learning how to throw a pigskin like a Super Bowl winning quarterback in the National Football League? There's a camp for that.
This Saturday, players and cheerleaders hailing from the Seattle Seahawks team will descend on West Vancouver's Ambleside Park - including quarterback Russell Wilson who led the Seahawks to their Super Bowl win last season.
The Russell Wilson Passing Academy on July 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., is part of a two-day stint of the 12 Man Tour by the NFL team. The football camp covers all positions, and its focus is to help children ages nine to 17 develop fundamental skills for being a dynamic football player.
The third youngest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl will cover game rules, demonstrate and instruct how to play, and complete drills and scrimmages. Players will learn everything from passing and blocking to running plays through step-by-step techniques.
On July 4, the players and cheerleaders will be at Jack Poole Plaza in Vancouver for a party and celebrity flag football draft, as part of the 12 North tour, from 6 to 10 p.m. Other activities throughout the two days include an NFL interactive fan zone, celebrity flag football game, 12 North flag football tournament, and a celebrity chef tailgate challenge.
