Memphis, TN – The Memphis Shelby County Interscholastic Athletic Association (MSCIAA) football camp continued Tuesday, June 10, with an inspiring display of teamwork and sportsmanship that captured the true spirit of the game.
The football camp drew dozens of participants on Tuesday, June 10. During a football agility drill, a middle schooler struggled to grasp the technique. Noticing his teammate’s frustration, another player stepped in beside him and demonstrated the drill step-by-step. “In, in, out, out,” the player said, guiding his teammate through each movement. He offered encouragement and refused to let him give up. “You know we’re doing this one too,” he added, pointing to the adjacent drill ladder. The student reassured him every step of the way.
