Free youth football clinic builds confidence

DULUTH, Minn. — The Family Freedom Center partnered with the Minnesota Monsters to put on a free youth football clinic earlier today.

The Family Freedom Center is a non-profit organization that serves the youth and families in the community through various programs, including the football clinic. The event aimed to bring the community together while providing the youth with the opportunity to connect with professional athletes. The kids worked on football drills to build confidence, learn teamwork, and have fun in a supportive environment.

“I think it’s super important because I think these kids really need that older mentorship, you know, showing that, you know, you can do great things, that sports are important, that school is important,” said Mikayla Wenzel, assistant director of S.T.A.R.T. “I think it’s really important that kids these days have older leaders to be able to look up to.”
