Shining Star ENERGY Youth Football Clinic
Alamodome July 2019
For the eleventh consecutive year, the Valero Alamo Bowl will host the free Shining Star ENERGY Youth Football Clinic for youth ages 7-14. Coaches from area colleges including Incarnate Word, Trinity and UTSA will join forces with local high schools in the summer of 2019 at the Alamodome to teach over 500 of San Antonio’s youth about sportsmanship and football.
Attendees will participate in offense, defense and blocking/tackling drills run by the coaches.
The annual clinic is one part of the Valero Alamo Bowl’s youth initiative that also includes free concussion testing for area high school students and a college scholarship program that has donated over $3.7 million.
Registration for the 2019 event will open in May 2019.
