THESE ROUTES ARE ONLY ABOUT FIVE YARDS. THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE AND MERRIMACK VALLEY FLAG FOOTBALL. ALL RIGHT. BECAUSE THESE KIDS ARE GOING TO CARRY THIS INTO INTO THEIR PERSONAL LIVES. THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO HOME AND EXPLAIN TO THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT, HEY, WE HAD A WE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH THE POLICE. THEY'RE THERE TO HELP US. THEY'RE THERE TO ENCOURAGE US. ONE. TWO, THREE. LOWELL IT HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THEY PERFORM AND HOW THEY ACTUALLY TREAT PEOPLE, EVEN IF THEY'RE A BAD GUY. DEFENSE GOING THAT WAY. SO BALL COMING OUT THIS WAY. BRIAN MITCHELL IS ONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS. I THINK FOOTBALL IN ITSELF IS A IS A GOOD TEAM BUILDING THING. SO IT'S A THING TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE WHERE THEY HAVE TO INTERACT WITH A DIFFERENT PERSON ON THE SNAP GUYS. WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THE ANNUAL CAMP IS THAT HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS ARE PART OF IT. FOR THE FIRST TIME. INCOMPLETE SECOND DOWN AND THEY CAN LEARN VALUABLE ATHLETIC SKILLS THAT CAN HELP THEM IN ACADEMIC PURSUITS.

SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET THAT INTO THIS AREA FROM CATCHING A PASS TO LEARNING PLAYS AND LEARNING AN OVERALL GAME PLAN. THE COACHES SAY THERE ARE SKILLS. THE KIDS ARE LEARNING ON THIS FIELD THAT WILL BENEFIT THEM OFF THE FIELD AND LONG INTO THEIR ADULTHOOD. HAVE YOU LEARNED ANY SECRETS TO THE GAME THAT WILL HELP YOU WIN? YEAH, BUT WE KEEP THOSE SECRETS. REPORTING IN LOWELL TODD KAZAKIEWICH WCVB NEWS
