WELLINGTON — Former NFL running back Najeh Davenport is coming to Wellington in July to teach local children some techniques of his sport.

Davenport is teaming up with Wellington’s Community Services and Parks & Recreation departments to offer a one-day football camp.

The NTD Football Skills Camp runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 11 at Village Park. It is open to children ages 9-17. The cost is $50 per child, which includes lunch.

The deadline to register is June 25. Space is limited. Athletes must wear proper attire consisting of gym shorts, t-shirt, sneakers, or football cleats during all camp activities.

Davenport and former professional and collegiate athletes will serve as coaches during the camp, which will focus on developing athletes’ skills and techniques.
In seven seasons with the NFL from 2002-2008, Davenport played with the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Indianapolis Colts. Before that, he was also part of the University of Miami’s National Championship-winning football team in 2001.
