Manchester Youth Football Camp was held this past week with 46 students participating! The campers participated in multiple skill drills such as passing, catching, blocking, and kicking. Varsity team members and staff conducted the camp to help build interest and develop future teams for the Manchester Flying Dutchmen.

“A great time was had by all,“ said Manchester head varsity football coach Ben Pack.

Michigan High School Football practice begins next Monday, August 8. The Flying Dutchmen have a large number of players returning from the previous two seasons, including All-Region receiver Jaxon McGuigan, All-Conference QB Kannon Duffing, and a host of returning starters. Hopes are high for the young team to continue to improve this year under Coach Pack’s leadership.
