Former Husker football player Matt Davison, known for “The Catch” at Missouri in 1997, is hosting a football camp in Sioux City, IA.
The football camp is organized through Davison’s nonprofit foundation, Creating Captains with the help of Jim Steele of South Sioux City. The camp is sponsored by CNOS Foundation. Creating Captains uses the vehicle of athletics to talk to youth about important issues they face today.
Davison began the foundation and football camps as a way to share his knowledge of the sport and the lessons he learned through his experience as a Husker.
The Creating Captains message is built upon four core values: character, courage, leadership and respect.
Davison incorporates these values to address topics such as bullying and hazing, peer pressure, drugs and alcohol, making good decisions, choosing a healthy lifestyle, and the importance of higher education.
The football camp will be held Friday, June 8 from 9:00am-12:00pm at Sioux City East Middle School field, 5401 Lorraine Ave. Pre-registration is appreciated, however walk-up registration is also accepted. Registration begins at 8:30am.
The camp is open to any youth entering 4th to 8th grade, and the registration fee is $10.
A Creating Captains t-shirt is included.
