Play 60 Field Days aim to make a positive impact on youth through teaching football skills, emphasizing exercise and reinforcing the importance of character, according to a news release.
The event featured a Character Chat led by Johnathan Franklin, Rams director of social justice and football development, who discussed perseverance, perspective and developing leadership skills.
During the field day, students took part in football-related activities, relay races and a dance station with Rams Cheerleaders.
Rams mascot Rampage and a live DJ were also in attendance to interact with students. All participants received a Rams Play 60 T-shirt and poster.
