Powell, Wells hosting football camp
Begins next week
Second-year head coach Clyde Powell and his head assistant coach Rick Wells are hosting a Madras football camp at Kah-Ne-Ta with hopes of bonding their team.
Participants will engage in team-building activities that are football related and non-football related as well.
"This will be a great opportunity for the players to get back together and build a sense of camaraderie," Powell said. "I think it's important to build a team relationship at these camps and the kids will have a lot of fun."
Players will stay at Kah-Ne-Ta Village where they will relax. The team will also participate in drills during the day.
"This is critical for our program," Wells said. "Oftentimes kids build life long friendships at these camps that are way more important than wins or losses."
Madras welcomed Powell and Wells last season, but they were hired in June, and organizing a team camp became virtually impossible.
"We didn't have the opportunity to do a team camp last year, but I'm really looking forward to bonding with the kids," Powell said. "The camp is open to all Madras football players and it will enhance our program."
Players will learn offensive and defensive schemes during the camp, work on technique and learn to play together.
"We will build a brotherhood, while learning how to execute our offense and defense," said Wells, who will conduct drills at the Warm Springs Community Center fields. "The kids will learn to trust each other and count on each other on and off the football field."
