The Paris football program hosted its second annual Pee Wee football camp last week at Eagles Stadium. And boys and girls in grades 3-6 turned-out in large numbers to participate in the camp. The Pee Wee Football Camp is another piece of the program that Eagles head football coach has brought to the Paris. Participation interest in football has grown since Coach Weaver’s arrival, and kids are having fun playing the sport of football.

The camp emphasizes both offensive and defensive fundamentals. The Paris coaching staff, along with players from the Eagles senior high team take part in coaching the young players. Conditioning is worked into the sessions where the campers are taught discipline and running hard from one station to another at the end of each period of the session. But all is very positive and fun for everyone who participates in the camp.
