Ohio State Players Enjoy Coaching Special Needs Athletes at Special Skills Football Invitational

Out of all the camps that took place at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center this summer, there might not have been one that brought more joy to both camp participants and their instructors than the Special Skills Football Invitational on Friday.

The Special Skills Football Invitational is an annual camp held that brings individuals with special needs to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for a day of football drills and fun. Approximately 200 individuals of all ages (eight and up) from throughout Ohio participated in the camp, where a group of 100 volunteers that included more than 30 Ohio State football players coached them through a variety of stations where they went through drills not unlike those that the Buckeyes go through in their own practices.
