The summer keeps heating up and so has Clarkston’s need for football. The seventh annual Clarkston Wolves Football Camp saw 180 players from fourth-ninth grade July 23-26 at the school’s football stadium. Clarkston coach Kurt Richardson and staff worked with the kids on skills and techniques such as footwork (linemen), catching (wide receivers), throwing (quarterbacks). Players worked on both sides of the ball and on special teams. Camp wrapped up with six-on-scrimmages.
The camp helps from a future standpoint, Richardson said, because the coaching staff can see players who cold be coming to the high school level soon.
‘It allows us to get somewhere and to know some kids who are going to be outstanding for us,? Richardson said.
The summer work is also helpful in familiarizing players with the team’s plays.
‘They get a jump start on the season. It helps the kids and the coaches,? he said.
