Redskins, Tebow to host local youth camps

Although NFL training camps do not open until late July, a number of players will host camps of their own this summer in an effort to give back to area youth.  The camps provide players the opportunity to share their success and knowledge with the aspiring athletes in the D.C. area by teaching them the fundamentals of football in an enjoyable and engaging atmosphere.

A number of Redskins players including Chris Cooley, Brandon Banks, Brian Orakpo, and Roy Helu will host camps throughout June and July.

Jets QB Tim Tebow, Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald and Giants WR Victor Cruz are set to appear at the 19th annual Colonial All-Pro Football Camp at William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va.
