TEMPE, Ariz. - Players and staff from the Arizona State University welcomed over 500 kids to Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday, March 31 for the inaugural Sun Devil Youth Experience Football Clinic.
Members of the ASU coaching staff and the players themselves split into several different groups across Frank Kush field on Saturday and worked with a number of youth aged 8-13 on numerous drills, allowing the youngsters to circulate amongst several positional drills and giving all a chance to work with the Sun Devil football program in an up close-and-personal environment.
Following the conclusion of the clinic, head coach Todd Graham spoke to the over 500 youth and their parents in attendance, encouraging the youth to continue to perform and try hard and classroom while also being givers in life. He spoke to the parents on the importance of allowing the kids to achieve their dreams and to encourage them and compliment them every day on their achievements.
The youth clinic immediately followed a nearly two-hour scrimmage put on by the ASU football team in front of a solid crowd of several thousand spectators on Saturday morning.
