JOE COHEN’S FOOTBALL CAMP TO BENEFIT LOCAL CHILDREN

Joe Cohen, former San Francisco 49er and University of Florida football player from the 2006 national championship team, in conjunction with the Space Coast Gator Club, will be conducting the Joe Cohen Elite Football Camp, from June 24-28 at Viera High School from 8:00 am till 12:00 pm each day.

Camp dates are June 24-25 (Ages 6-13) and June 26-28 (Ages 14-18). All children that register before June 13 will receive a camp T-shirt. Camp attendees also need active shorts and sport cleats to participate. The Space Coast Gator Club will provide volunteers to support the event.

Working alongside Joe Cohen will be Reggie Nelson, Cincinnati Bengals safety and former Gator player, Andre Fluellen, former Chicago Bears player, Ray Buchanan, former Seattle Seahawk and University of Miami player, Earl Everett and Jason Watkins, former Florida Gator players, and Neefy Moffet, former FSU player, among other players.

Fundamentals will include speed drills coached by Parisi Speed School and football drills that improve individual performance on the football field. Some 7-on-7 football scrimmaging will also be conducted. Local high school and Pop Warner coaches and current and former college and NFL players will be on hand to encourage the attendees during these drills.

Proceeds will be used to host the first annual backpack drive for under-privileged youth, in conjunction with G.Y.M. Life. Backpacks will be filled with notebooks and pencils and other school supplies for needy children in Brevard County. “Being a life long Brevard county resident, I felt that it was necessary for me to give back to the community that gave me so much,” said Cohen.

Corporate sponsors and personal donations are needed to make this event a success. Donations and sponsorships will assist in the enrollment fees for under-privileged children so they may attend this event. Volunteers are needed to help during the weeklong camp.

Enrollment fees are $65 (ages 6-13) and $85 (ages 14-18) and can be purchased at the website below. Late registration will also be held the day of the event.
