The Powell High School football team is set to host the Panther Pride Kids Camp starting Tuesday at 8 a.m. and running through Thursday at noon.
The camp will have two different sessions with an older group for kids ages 12-14 participating in the camp from 8-10 a.m. before a group for ages 8-11 going from 10:30 a.m.-noon.
Coach Chase Kistler said that the camp prefers that the kids in attendance be fourth grade or older, but the staff may welcome younger children if it is cleared with the staff.
Athletes are encouraged to wear appropriate workout gear, alongside water and bug spray to help stay healthy throughout the camp.
The camp will cost $50 per camper, and a registration form must be filled out before you can participate.
Those wishing to find out more about the camp or are seeking a registration form can contact Kistler at cskistler@pcsd1.org for more information.
SUMMER CAMP
The Panthers were busy attending a camp of their own this summer, heading north to Bozeman to take part in the Montana State University camp from June 19-21.
The Panthers took 22 kids to the camp, from freshmen to seniors.
“The guys that went really performed well,” Kistler said. “In the scrimmage competitions we performed well.”
There were 22 teams in attendance, with three of those from Wyoming and the rest from Montana.
Kistler said the camp gave the Panthers the opportunity to play a new batch of teams.
“It was nice to go where you aren’t playing the same teams over and over,” he said.
Kistler added that the Panthers were able to get in individual technical sessions with the MSU coaching staff, along with strong team building strategies for three days.
“Any summer things you do team wise and lifting wise, it’s so big,” Kistler said. “It separates teams that are constantly at the top in the playoffs and state championships.”
He said it is important to keep the program active over the summer so players are working on physical fitness as well as mentally retaining knowledge that will help the Panthers out of the gate in the fall.
“Football is not an easy sport to memorize,” Kistler said. “The more you learn over the summer the faster you get out of the gate during the season.”
Powell is set to begin fall practice on Aug. 14 with the first game scheduled for Aug. 25 on the road against Riverton.
