Ana Sofia Meyer / TPI Local kids have a blast with one-on-one drill at the annual Troy Ellis Foundation football camp at the Wetumpka Sports Complex on Thursday.
The Troy Ellis Foundation hosted its third annual youth football camp on Thursday at the Wetumpka Sports Complex football stadium. The event was hosted by Obed and Jennifer Ellis, the co-founders of the Troy Ellis Foundation, in partnership with coach Bear Woods and the Wetumpka football program.
“Having the high school kids here is huge,” Ellis said, waving goodbye to Wetumpka players as the camp wrapped up. “This was the first time we’ve had all of (Woods’) varsity guys, and they just poured into these kids. And when you live in a small community, that’s a big deal, because every one of those kids knew who those (athletes) were. They’re out here in the stands on Friday.”
