High school football, along with the entire 2018-2019 PIAA sports season, is right around the corner.  Before the sports season is upon us however, Phil Sams and his football staff have, once again, provided a little football fix that is aimed at generating interest and providing fun to youngsters throughout Saucon Valley.  This week, about thirty-five Saucon Valley youth athletes joined the high school Panther football players for a fun and free clinic.

High school football, along with the entire 2018-2019 PIAA sports season, is right around the corner.  Before the sports season is upon us however, Phil Sams and his football staff have, once again, provided a little football fix that is aimed at generating interest and providing fun to youngsters throughout Saucon Valley.  This week, about thirty-five Saucon Valley youth athletes joined the high school Panther football players on campus for a festive and free clinic.

Coach Sams and his staff oversee the camp, but it is actually the high school football players who do the lion’s share of the instruction. There seemed to be smiles all-around, with the high school players playfully interacting with the Saucon Valley youth!
