Upcoming Atlanta Event: NFL Players Host 3rd Annual Free Football Camp **UPDATED**

Via Press Release: NFL players Chauncey Davis (Atlanta Falcons), Ovie Mughelli (Atlanta Falcons) and Daniel Wilcox (Atlanta native, former Baltimore Raven) understand growing up in a single parent home with scarce financial resources. They also know what it is like to have an interest in playing sports on a higher level, but not having the resources to support that dream. Like many Atlanta-area youth, these players lived that life before becoming NFL stars. That’s why these players joined urban retail clothier DTLR to host a free football camp for kids ages 12-17 in the Atlanta metro area.

The 3rd Annual DTLR (Downtown Locker Room) Football Clinic will be held on July 11, 9a.m. at the James R. Hallford Football Stadium (3789 Memorial College Ave, Clarkston). This free one-day event will include comprehensive NFL football drills and conditioning for student-athletes, a recruiting seminar for parents and student athletes, and lunch.

"This camp offers students a unique hands-on training experience that will expose them to the same techniques and drills I used on the college level and that I use today in the NFL," added Davis. "It remains a priority for me and my foundation to give back and make a positive impact in the lives of young people."

Wilcox and Davis will sign autographs on Friday, July 10, 2 p.m. at the Gallery at South DeKalb (2801 Candler Road, Decatur). Interested families can pre-register for camp at the autograph signing.

"The players and DTLR realize that sports is a very big part of recreational activities and often time the dreams of many urban youth," said Sherri Goodall, Community Outreach Manager for DTLR. "Football camps can cost families up to $200 per day for instruction by NFL players and coaches. We thought it would only make sense to connect sports, professional athletes and DTLR’s community efforts together in a way that would benefit the community, most importantly Atlanta-area families."

Student athletes interested in participating can register online at www.DTLR.com or register the day of the camp from 8am-9am. Additional camp partners include The Athletic Group and Atlanta's Y-Sportz Magazine. "For those who know me, know that I am always trying to do something to give back to the community," said Wilcox. "This football camp is another opportunity to give the kids something I never had growing up." Source: Destined for Success Mgmt
