Good luck to DAX McMELLON & JIMMY GLEN at the AR Sports Combine Presents Skills Academy on July 17th @ War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
For athletes entering 6th through 12th grades, this skills camp is specifically designed to get a jump start on season preparation. Campers will receive instructions from professional position trainers and coaches. This camp will prepare upperclassman who are getting ready to showcase their talents for the season. Also, this camp is perfect for athletes who are looking to improve their skills to excel at the high school level. Players from surrounding states are welcome and should be expected. Additionally, student-athletes’ activities will be slightly modified along with the implementation of different sanitation protocols. While encouraging social distancing, masks must always be worn, and additional precaution.
