ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Orlando-area youths ages 10-18 are invited to attend a free youth football clinic and community fun day featuring NFL stars Saturday, June 30, at the Florida Citrus Bowl. The event will run from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and include former UCF players Darcy Johnson and Daunte Culpepper.
Also scheduled to take part in the clinic are Darrell Green, Charles Mann, Tim Johnson, Kim Herring, Fred Stokes and many others.
The event celebrates the value and diversity of the city of Orlando through football and fun. Its goal is to teach young athletes how to become better football players, improve their techniques, expand their overall skill set and more importantly, how to become the future leaders of the community.
For more information, call (407) 476-9322 or email orlandoyfc@gmail.com.
Johnson helps run the clinic through the Darcy J. Foundation, which is partnering with the Orlando World Outreach Center. He played tight end for the Knights from 2002-05, and following his collegiate career, he suited up for the New York Giants and St. Louis Rams.
Culpepper was a three-time All-American from 1995-98, and set more than 30 school records. He finished sixth in the 1998 Heisman Trophy balloting, the same year he won the Sammy Baugh Trophy as the top quarterback in the nation. The 11th overall pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 1999, Culpepper went on to play in the NFL from 1999-09.
