Retired NFL player Ryan Anderson returned to his roots, hosting an engaging football camp for young athletes.
“Growing up in this community, we didn’t have a lot of people that came back and poured into us and we’re a big football, like athlete town,” Anderson explained.
Anderson, a former Alabama star, aimed to give back to the community that shaped him by sharing his love of football and discussing important topics like financial literacy. This year, Anderson introduced a new element to his camp, partnering with Home Depot and his company, 22 Builds Custom Homes, to teach students about the trades industry. The kids got hands-on experience building mini homes, adding a unique twist to their football camp experience.
Fifth grader and young football athlete, Joshua Bush shared his enthusiasm for the opportunity to learn more about the sport saying, “I like tackling people and like hitting people and like I like being like physical.”“I learned how to strip the quarterback and make calls of fumble and scoop and score,” said Jeremiah.
Another participant, Eric Manzy says getting through the camp in the heat was a breeze, “I play like for municipal park. I play tackle…yeah I play quarterback and … I’m the best player on the team!”“I feel great,” Anderson shared. “It’s always a great feeling. It’s some things money can’t buy. Seeing these kid’s faces, seeing them happy, smiling, running around getting to do what they love, asking us questions.
