What should my child wear and bring? 

The weather will likely be warm to hot, so make sure your child has the appropriate athletic clothing that allows them to stay cool and be active. Consider the list of items below when preparing for the day of the event. 

• Water bottle

• Athletic clothing (shorts, sun shirt or t-shirt, hat)

• Comfortable athletic shoes 

• Sunscreen (remember to reapply!) 

• Any medical supplies or medication that your child needs (ex. inhaler) 

• Cleats, football gloves (optional) 

What your child does not need: 

• Food

• Sports equipment (balls, padding, etc) 

• Jeans and street clothes/shoes 

Do I need to stay with my child for the event? 

Yes! Parents/guardians and families should stay and spectate the fun! It's helpful to have parents/guardians there to determine the needs of their child(ren) and make sure their child(ren) is comfortable and having a positive experience. 

What type of activities will my child be doing? 

Your child will go through a number of drills led by current Cal football team members. Drills include: 

• Throwing

• Combine/general skills 

• Catching 

• Touchdown & touchdown celebrations 

• Running back drills 

Your child is also encouraged to engage with our performance stations. These stations will cover topics that are important to learn while being involved in sports. Performance stations include: 

• Sun safety 

• Game day prep 

• Hydration 

• Nutrition 

• Community engagement 

What if my child does not want to participate, needs a break, or is shy to start? 

This may be the case for our young participants, and that is okay! We will have a staffed safety zone for students to observe drills, take a breather, and join back in the fun when they are ready.
