Registration urged soon for Hall of Fame’s Saints, Pelicans Junior Training Camp
It’s free. It’s fun. It’s going to fill up to capacity, once again.
So parents are urged to soon sign up their boys and girls, ages 7-17, through the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame website for the Saturday morning, June 22 New Orleans Saints and Pelicans Junior Training Camp, an annual highlight of the LSHOF’s Induction Celebration.
Camp participation is capped at the first 300 registered kids. Advance registration is required by June 1. There is no fee to participate. Parents register their kids by completing an easy form at LaSportsHall.com/JuniorTrainingCamp link online.
Already, over 150 kids are registered. Flyers with information about the camp, and an easy-to-use QR code, were distributed last week to students at local schools.
Anyone who cannot get on the internet to register can reach out to camp coordinator Kat Marshall, an LSHOF operations assistant, at 979-551-6646 or by e-mail at kat@lasportshall.com.
Camp Day June 22 begins with check-in at 8:30 at the WRAC with introductions of Hall of Famers at 9, and activities starting by 9:15. It wraps up at 11 after all campers get football and speed instruction at Northwestern’s Turpin Stadium and receive basketball and agility instruction inside the Webb Wellness and Recreation Center (WRAC) at 322 Sam Sibley Drive.
Campers will receive free T-shirts, a meal coupon, and more. Northwestern State coaches and athletes help Saints and Pelicans personnel, and the 2024 Hall of Fame inductees, working with the kids.
The 2024 Hall of Fame Induction Class includes Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Basketball Hall of Fame 2024 inductee Seimone Augustus, recently enshrined in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, MMA legend Daniel Cormier, NFL quarterbacks coach Kerry Joseph of the Chicago Bears, former Tulane basketball coach Perry Clark, longtime Grambling baseball coach Wilbert Ellis, USA wrestling gold medalist Kevin Jackson, legendary high school football and baseball coach Frank Monica and one of America’s greatest jockeys, Ray Sibille.
