American Football is heading to Devon on June 30, when the NFL’s founding franchise Chicago Bears bring their hugely successful Mini Monsters Clinics back to the UK for a second time.
Children from multiple schools in East Devon will have the opportunity to take part in the community initiative and pick up an American football for the first time at Dawlish Community College.
Mini Monsters Clinics provide free youth coaching for boys and girls between the ages of 7-12. The 90-minute programme stresses the importance of healthy eating, physical activity and proper hydration through fun, non-contact American football drills. Participation is for children and young people, regardless of experience with American football or level of physical capability.
The Chicago Bears are one of the most successful professional NFL teams and Super Bowl 20 champions. This year marks the return of the Bears’ Mini Monsters Clinic after a hugely successful debut last year.
