Our clinic is a four-hour non-contact clinic using football as a common thread. The clinic gives the children an opportunity to work-out and interact with NFL ball players. It also sets up a relationship of a NFL ball player who is throwing a ball to a child. After two or three tosses, the relationship is not that of an adult to a child, but rather that of teammates. Children are tired of being told what to do by adults, but advice from a teammate is something different.

The four main points that are stressed are:

1. anti-drug
2. anti-violence
3. importance of an education
4. no matter what you decide to do in life,
“make a difference”
