“The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That’s real glory.” - Vince Lombardi The Bears will host a Moms Football Safety Clinic at Halas Hall in Lake Forest on Saturday, October 15, 2016 from 4:30-6:30 pm. This clinic will provide a unique opportunity for moms of Chicago-area youth football players to learn firsthand from experts in sports medicine, hear from Bears and USA Football representatives, connect with Heads Up Football Advisory Board Members and hit the field of the Center for drills. This event is an interactive and educational forum designed to educate moms about how the game is being played safer and better than ever before. It will provide hands-on answers to moms and will allow them to engage with other moms on issues of mutual interest regarding youth sports safety.

This year, the will offer attending moms the option to have their kids be a part of the clinic. While moms listen to presentations covering concussion awareness, heat and hydration and a panel discussion, participating kids will be going through football drills in the Walter Payton Center. Moms will then join their kids in the Walter Payton Center for Heads UP Football Tackling instruction led by a Heads Up Football Master Trainer. The youth portion of the clinic is for kids ages 7-13, and each mom has the option to bring up to 2 kids. If you have any questions or would like to include more than 2 kids in the youth camp, please contact the Community Relations department at 847-739-5426.

Online registration for the Moms Football Safety Clinic is available at:
