Arizona Cardinals host football day camp as interest increases for girls

Young girls had some fun in the sun with current and former Arizona Cardinals players, learning the basics of football through a day camp Saturday. MORE ⬇️

More than 120 girls ages six to 12 went to the day camp held at State Farm Stadium to get a little experience in the sport. That little taste could help them uncover a passion for football down the road.

In Saturday’s camp, the kids learned many skills from the pros, including Cardinals linebacker Dennis Gardeck. The Arizona Cardinals say this is the third year they’ve held the camp, wanting to give girls a safe and comfortable environment to welcome them into the sport. Some of the girls in the camp could go on to play flag football at the high school level, which is a recently sanctioned sport by the Arizona Interscholastic Association. They approved it back in December. Currently, more than 50 teams are approved for girls high school flag football. That number nearly doubled since the sport was approved.
