JCC Professional to Participate
in NFL Youth Football Summit at Pro Football Hall of Fame
Induction Weekend
NEW YORK, NY, June 27,
2006 –Brad Rempel, sports & recreation director
at the Sabes JCC in St. Louis Park, Minnesota has been selected
to participate in the 2006 National Football League Youth
Football Summit.
The summit will take place in Canton, Ohio during the Pro
Football Hall of Fame Induction Weekend, August 2-5, 2006.
JCC Association, the NFL Youth Football Fund,
and NFL Players Association have shared a long standing relationship
since 1998. As one of the NFL’s eight National Youth
Football partners, JCC Association has been invited to nominate
one participant for the summit - a three-day educational and
interactive conference for the leaders in youth and high school
football.
Rempel was selected as the JCC Association
representative coach from a number of qualified applicants
from JCCs across North America. He has a B.S. in physical
education and a minor in athletic coaching from the University
of North Dakota. Rempel has been working in youth sports for
over nine years and has overseen the JCC’s youth football
program for the past seven.
“My goal is having fun and getting the
kids involved during the game. I organize our program as an
introductory level program helping the kids understand basic
rules so they are more aware of how to play football. I hope
that they will show enough interest to possibly want to play
for their junior high or high school team in the future,”
Rempel said.
The 150 youth and high school football
coaches and administrators attending the summit will have
an opportunity to participate in several educational seminars
and roundtable discussions chaired by former NFL players and
coaches, youth medical experts and motivational speakers .
All summit participants will attend a private reception at
the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Thursday evening while also
enjoying a private celebratory dinner at the beautiful Glenmoor
Country Club on Friday evening.
