St. Mark’s School is running a football clinic this summer. Their 5th youth clinic is geared to children entering grades 7-9. It will take place evenings the week of July 17th.
There is a $210 fee, but Head Football Coach Chris Young tells me that they will offer discounts or scholarships to families who qualify for reduced or free school lunch. (You can contact him at chrisyoung@stmarksschool.org or (508) 786-4052.)
