BAHAMAS BOWL

YOUTH CLINIC

ONE of the highly anticipated events of Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl week is set for December 19 as the 5th annual Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl Youth Football Clinic, sponsored by KFC, is set for 3:30 to 5pm at the rugby fields next to the old Thomas A Robinson Stadium (adjacent to the national stadium) in Nassau. The clinic is free and open to boys and girls ages 7-13, and it is held in cooperation between the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl and USA Football.

A USA Football coach along with student-athletes and staff from the FIU and Toledo football teams, along with representatives of the Commonwealth American Football League will run the clinic, teaching football fundamentals and safety techniques.

Last year’s clinic was a success as student-athletes gave back to the youth of the Bahamas, using football and fun to interact with participants involved in the event, showing what exercise and hard work can attain. Registration is from 2:30-3:30pm, and the clinic will follow 3:30-5pm.

Each registered participant will receive a 2018 Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl t-shirt and tickets to the 2018 game on Friday, December 21.
