Football, but not as we know it: the Bears clinic will be a non-contact session
THE Chicago Bears American Football team is bringing its Mini Monsters Clinic to Selborne Primary School in Conway Crescent, Perivale, next Monday (11).
The clinics will involve free coaching for boys and girls between the ages of 7-12. The 90-minute programme stresses the importance of healthy eating, physical activity and proper hydration through fun, non-contact American football drills.
Participation is for children and young people regardless of experience with American football or level of physical capability.
Bears alumnus Johnny Knox, former wide receiver who played in the NFL for four seasons, will lead the clinic.
The Bears are taking the Mini Monsters Clinics on an eight-stop tour across the country.
