On Saturday, four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers welcomed 350 Tampa-area children to One Buccaneer Place for the Gerald McCoy Youth Football Clinic.
The one-day football camp offered football instruction to local children, ages seven to 14, with an emphasis on fundamentals, teamwork and discipline. A large number of children in attendance come from single-parent households through the United Way Suncoast and were hosted free of charge by Gerald McCoy.
“Single parent families; it’s close to my heart because my mother was a single parent, my wife, before we got married, was a single parent,” said McCoy.
