Penn football is hosting a youth camp this summer for all children ages 7-13 from Monday, June 20, through Thursday, June 23. The Penn football coaching staff, led by Head Coach Ray Priore, the reigning Ivy League Coach of the Year, will work with campers on the fundamental techniques of flag football, as well as lead campers in fun activities and competitions throughout each day to promote interest in and understanding of the game.
The Penn football team is the defending champion of the Ivy League. This past season, the Quakers, who finished 7-3, earned their 17th Ivy title. It was their fourth in seven years and their first since 2012. Priore became just the seventh coach in league history to win an Ivy championship in his first season.
Camp hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the historic Franklin Field, 235 S. 33rd St. For online registration, visit www.pennfootballcamp.com; for more information, contact the Penn football office at football@pobox.upenn.edu or 215-573-9229.
