HELENA–Believe it or not, the start of the new school year is only a few weeks away, and with that also comes the start of football season.

Before students get back into the routine of waking up early and hitting the books, young Helena Husky players can get some detailed instructions from coaches and senior Helena football players at a Husky Football Skills Camp that will be held on July 25.

The Husky Football Skills Camp will be a non-contact football camp taking place on Saturday, July 25, from 8 a.m. to noon at Husky Stadium on the campus of Helena High School.

The camp is open to any athletes in grades first through sixth. The pre-registration deadline has passed but walk-up registration is $30 and does not include a t-shirt.

Athletes should bring cleats, tennis shoes, water bottle, shorts, shirt and a great attitude.

The camp will include fundamental instruction from coaches and senior football players, instruction on all football positions, weight training and nutrition information. The camp will conclude with a punt, pass and kick competition.

Checks for the camp should be made payable to Helena High School with the title “football camp.”
