katie's football camp

The Justin Snow Football Camp and the Snow Special Teamers are very important projects Justin and his brother Troy started. Beginning in July 2002 with help from some area sponsors, friends and coaches hundreds of young men in the Big Country have a half day of basic football fundamentals. Snow wants to give back to the community he grew up in. He recognizes and appreciates the support he has been given over the years by the people in Abilene. He began playing football at the age of 8 in Pop Warner and continued playing at Madison Middle School and Cooper High School. Now as an adult he strives to be a good role model for area youth and hopes to make an impact on their lives as they make decisions for their future.

The “Snow Special Teamers” was created to reach children with special needs and give them a day of competition and recreation with Justin, NFL Players, Area Coaches & volunteers. Justin not only participates with the Special Teamers in Abilene but in Indianapolis, Indiana as well as the Special Olympics Programs in both areas. Justin and Troy lost their brother, Brian to Cerebral Palsy in 1998. Brian made an impact on the life of Justin. Not only did he receive his education specializing in speech disorders but he enjoys participating with special needs individuals.

The 3 Hour “2005 Justin Snow Football Camp” is set for Saturday, July 16^th and is free for ages 6-18. The purpose of the football camp is to set examples for young men(and women-like katie) in Abilene and the Big Country Area of West Texas by focusing on the basic fundamentals of football. Emphasizing the importance of education by staying in school and being a role model for their peers both on and off the field. By being involved in the sport of football will keep them focused on school, off drugs, self development and pursuing their personal goals as each develop their individual skills. Snow, coaches and volunteers strive to set a good foundation of football and have an impact on their athletic ability. ~~~~~per "justin snow football camp" website
