OBYFA Youth Football Clinics

The Orange Bowl hosted a series of Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance (OBYFA) Football Clinics in partnership with Florida International University and Florida Atlantic University this summer. In addition, the Orange Bowl will assisted the University of Miami coaches with two of their football camps.

The two OBYFA Clinics were free for boys and girls ages 5-14 and focused on proper safety, development, good sportsmanship and education. Football coaches from FIU and FAU ran participants through offensive, defensive and agility drills, including proper techniques to promote on-field football safety.
