The clinic, open to children in grades kindergarten through eighth, will run from 4-5 p.m.

Parents can pre-register their children for the clinic by completing a youth participant release and emailing it with the names of their children to assistant coach Chad Raymond at craymond@fit.edu. Forms can be faxed to Raymond’s attention at 321-674-8261 as well. Parents can also register their children on Saturday starting at 3:30 p.m. at Pirate Stadium.

Children will learn about the game of football and work on fundamentals, while interacting with the Panthers in the one hour.

Following the clinic, children can enjoy a free meal before watching FIT play an intrasquad scrimmage at 6 p.m. The intrasquad is free and open to the public. Fans who are unable to attend can watch the game and follow the live stats at FloridaTechSports.com/live
