The Steve Addazio Football Camp f f e L

l l e h c t i M

The Steve Addazio Football Camp, LLC, will kickoff the 2013 summer camp circuit for a third consecutive season on the campus of Temple University.

Edberg-Olson Hall, the Owls’ training facility, will serve as the central location of all camp activities. The camp objective is to teach the basic fundamentals and skills of the game of football. The Temple coaching staff will be assisted by coaches from major universities and colleges and also premier high school coaches from the Northeast. Though the backgrounds of these coaches differ, they all share one common trait; the love of football. The opportunity to work with some of the best teachers that this great game has to offer will give you the best value (at under $60 per session) of any camp you will attend this summer! Visit us on the web at www.SteveAddazio.net for more information or contact the football office at 215-204-4694 or via e-mail at [email protected] .
