Pat Freiermuth holds his first youth football camp in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH — Around 100 kids from ages 7-12 participated in Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth first youth football camp on Saturday night at North Allegheny High School.

The camp, which was organized by Athletes Making Progress Together, was coached by Duquesne football players and former NFL players.

The camp consisted of warmup and stretching, position development (offensive and defensive), ball handling and hand-eye coordination skill work, drills and technique training, selected competitions for prizes, one-on-one wide receiver-defensive back drills and more.

“We work with a lot of different athletes. Our mission is to bridge the gap between athletes and the community, and we are primarily based in the New York-New Jersey area,” Athletes Making Progress Together president Jackie Nunes said. “I know Pat from college, I went to Penn State. So we’ve done charity and non-profit events with Pat in the past. We did a Thanksgiving Day dinner at the Boys & Girls Club of a teammate of his. And now we’re doing his youth camp and looking to do future charity and community events in the future.”
