The McCann Clubhouse gym filled up with Canadian Junior League football players Friday for Ottawa Sooners day.
Safe football practice stations were set up all around the gym where kids could sprint, throw, jump and learn all about the game. Over 60 youth attended and had a great time participating.
Visiting parents were treated to introductions, pride, and excited explanations from happy kids who had to be pried away from the proceedings. Many of them asked hopefully if the athletes would be back next week.
If the players wanted to become more involved with youth in the community, they had come to the right place!
Later in evening, older club members were even given an opportunity to show their talents in an exciting pick up game against the Sooners.
The players were encouraging and attentive, and their three hours in the gym was a generous gift to the club that we hope can be repeated.
