BREVARD COUNTY • ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA – Some traditions are important community events that evolve over time, while others are just plain fun.

This free clinic is conducted by former NFL, collegiate, local high school all-stars and community leaders. Attendees will be taught football fundamentals, life skills, character building, education, sportsmanship and teamwork.
