Netter Takes Part in Allstate Good Works Team
The following comes from the Allstate Good Works Team: Members
of the 2011 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, a national community service
award honoring college football players who stand out for their
commitment to volunteerism, shared their football skills with children
of the YMCA of Greater New Orleans on January 2, 2012. The Allstate
AFCA Good Works Team® featured Northwestern's own senior offensive
lineman, Al Netter, among others.
Before Michigan and Virginia Tech took the field for the 78th Allstate
Sugar Bowl, members of this year’s Allstate AFCA Good Works Team
brought their passion for community service to New Orleans to teach
more than 200 local YMCA children the fundamentals of football as part
of a special clinic at Tad Gormley Stadium.
The children were completely surprised when the college football
players were introduced one by one in their game jerseys before leading
the sport’s future stars through a series of drills and skills
competitions.
The football clinic marks the fourth consecutive year that members of
the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team have traveled to the Crescent City to
make a positive impact on the community leading up to the Sugar Bowl.
