Orange Bowl Committee spokesperson Latoya Williams said the event gives participants a sense of how college players train.
“The kids have an opportunity to come out and see a Division I football field, they get to see FIU’s campus, and they get interaction from a Division I coach and their assistant coaches,” she said. “They’re learning different skills, different drills. They’re learning about sportsmanship and leadership and character while they’re out here as well.”
Since its inception in 1999, the Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance has invested more than $7 million in youth sports across South Florida.
