(Riverside, CA)  On Thursday, local boys and girls were treated to a special day of football and fun at an NFL PLAY 60 – Jr Chargers Training Camp hosted by the Los Angeles Chargers at Notre Dame High School (Riverside, CA).

Put on by the Chargers along with the Inland Valley Classic (501c3 non-profit), the mission of the camp is to make a positive impact on the youth through teaching football skills, emphasizing the importance of getting 60 minutes of physical activity a day. It also reinforces the importance of positive character in athletics and life and is part of the NFL and Chargers’ outreach initiative.

“We think its import for kids to learn a little bit about football, but we also want them to focus on staying active,” Eddie ‘Eternal’ Talbert Jr. (IVC/Fox Sports AM1350) said. “The goal is for them to have good character and make good decisions. A lot of these kids have never been to a football camp or exposed to football, so it’s about bringing this generation into the fold as fans.”

“It’s an awesome blessing to these kids (to be out here),” mentioned Brian ‘Coach B’ Arrington (IVC/Fox Sports AM1350). “This is the next generation. So it was great collaborating and working with the LA Chargers.”
