Snap, Hold & Kick Clinic and Competition Update of 2010 Season

 

This year, for the first time S, H&K held a pre-clinic for the advanced snapper’s, holder’s and kicker’s mentors in March/April at San Bernardino Valley College.  We had over 20 college/high school students show up for this training.

Our regular program was held at Fontana Lewis Sports Complex on May 1^st through July 24^th.  We started with 123 kids signed up on the first day and a total of 264 kids came to the 12 training sessions.

 

Snap, Hold & Kick Director, Hugo Castellanos, and Recruitment Director, Bobby Pleasant were able to assist eight kids in obtaining scholarships to colleges/universities.

Some of our community events that we partnered with are Oregon State University Football Camp, San Bernardino County Foster/Kin Youth Sports Faire, SH&K mentors speak at elementary schools; sharing their experiences on the value of education,  City of Fontana Annual Youth Football Camp and World Youth Football League.  In September 2010 we will be assisting in our 2^nd Punt, Pass and Kick event which are affiliated with the San Diego Chargers.

 

This year was our 10 year milestone; on July 10^th we held our 100^th free clinic for kickers, punters & snappers.  We are very proud of the fact that for the last ten years we have had great success in teaching kids football kicking skills and providing personal growth opportunities through a structured program in a relaxed learning environment.  Our mission is to educate America’s youth through sports and education and this would have not be possible without all the volunteers and community partners throughout the years.
