They'll soon be calling plays from the sidelines

If you wondered where the youth of Ada were on Monday morning, you would have found many at Ada War Memorial Park for the beginning of Youth Football Camp.
LOTS OF PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM -
Camp Director Shawn Christopher said this year's camp is the biggest camp ever with 51 third through eighth graders and 42 high school assistants participating.
The youngsters are learning skills through drills prior to regular practice which will be at the park for Midget Football and at the school for Junior High Football.
The high school assistants yelled out words of encouragement and instruction to the youngsters as they honed their skills on Monday morning.
Kids walking on sidewalks and riding bicycles in town will be minimal for the next two mornings as Youth Football Camp continues.
