I LOVE the Washington Redskins. No question about it, that time of year is my favorite. My little brother is a skins fan as well (mom and dad are raising him right :-) ). He got chosen to go to Chris Cooley's football camp from some raffle through the Redskin's organization. This camp has about 320 kids in it and and it is run by a ton of local football coaches. He did some defensive drills and then played 7 on 7 a the end. What was really cool though was the awards, typical camper of the day, that were awarded at the end of the day. There were three different group, seperated by age, and there was a camper of the day from each group. At the beginning of the day, Cooley explained what he was looking for from the camper of the day. The usual good sportsmanship, hard working, good attitude athlete. Each group had a child awarded, but the Cooley brought out another award.
It was the Phillip Post II award. Phillip POst was killed in a car accident last June and he was a lifetime Redskins fan. His family donated enough money to allow 17 kids to attend the camp for free. An amazing way to memorialize him if you ask me. I've attached a link so ya'll can check it out.
