The 14th Annual Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl Youth Football Clinic will be back on the Independence Stadium turf on Saturday, June 7 from 8-11 a.m.
The clinic is a free, non-contact clinic that offers local boys and girls from ages five through incoming eighth graders an opportunity to learn from regional college football coaches. In 2024, campers got to learn from Centenary head coach Byron Dawson and coaches and staffers from LSU, Louisiana Tech, ULM, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Centenary and Southern University-Shreveport.
Parents are encouraged to register their children by Wednesday, June 4 and can do so at RadianceTechnologiesIndependenceBowl.com/youth-football-clinic. Spots are limited to 400 participants, so pre-registering in advance is the best way to secure a place. Parents must complete a waiver for their child upon arrival on the day of the Youth Football Clinic. All participants will receive a free t-shirt and lunch following the clinic.
The yearly Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl Youth Football Clinic allows boys and girls to learn football fundamentals from college coaches by participating in offensive, defensive and special teams drills. Children will also learn essential fitness techniques and the importance of being physically active.
Check-in for pre-registered participants and registration, if space is available on the morning of the event, will begin at 7 a.m. at the southwest entrance of Independence Stadium. Parents will need to submit their child’s waiver agreement at this time. The clinic will run from 8 a.m. until approximately 11 a.m. T-shirts and lunch will be distributed to campers following the completion of the clinic.
