The inaugural Tyler Davis’ Ballers & Bookworms Youth Football Camp was a resounding success! With over 160 enthusiastic young athletes aged 5 to 17 signing up, the camp was buzzing with energy and excitement.
Learning from the Best
The student-athletes who attended this free camp had the incredible opportunity to learn from some of the top players and coaches in the game. Notable local figures such as Ryan Spadola, Will Hayes, Paul Carrezola, and of course, Tyler Davis of the Green Bay Packers, shared their expertise and passion for football. Their guidance and mentorship were invaluable, providing the young players with skills and inspiration that will last a lifetime.
Recognizing Outstanding Talent
A special highlight of the camp was the recognition of Tyheem from Manchester High School as the camp MVP. Tyheem’s exceptional performance earned him a $500 scholarship, a testament to his hard work and potential. Additionally, camper Layla took home a fantastic prize package provided by the NFL Players Association, celebrating her enthusiasm and participation.
Community Support and Generosity
The success of the camp was made possible through the generous support of several organizations. The NFL Players Association, KIND Bars, Wholly Bowls Food Truck, and NJ Sports Spine & Wellness played crucial roles in ensuring our players were well-hydrated, well-fed, and proudly sporting awesome camp shirts.
A special highlight of the day was during the lunch break when Michael Czahor of Athlyticz made a generous donation. His contribution not only supported the camp but also provided our athletes with access to learn Python on the Athlyticz learning platform, blending athletic and academic growth.
