Southwestern College football players Arnold Portillo and Eric Erbe, along with the Winfield Recreation Commission are offering a free football camp for youth ages 10-13, on Saturday, March 29, from 4 to 5 p.m., at Richard L. Jantz Stadium.

Campers will rotate through various drills related to passing, catching, kicking, and blocking.  Several SC football players will be assisting with the drills.

Portillo and Erbe are excited for the chance to work with youth players.

“I wanted to do something for the community, since they have done so much for us and our program,” Portillo says. “I hope someday to become an athletic director, but teaching and coaching is something I have always wanted to do.”

“I would like to coach in the future and this seemed like a great stepping stone,” Erbe says.

Portillo is a junior offensive lineman from Newcastle, Okla., and Erbe is a sophomore quarterback from Chanute. 

Campers are encouraged to register to attend before March 22, although walk-ins will be allowed. Register by emailing either arnold.portillo@sckans.edu or eric.erbe@sckans.edu. 

Portillo and Erbe also would like to invite players coming to the camp to also attend the Southwestern College women’s flag football game versus the University of Saint Mary at 1 p.m. There is no admission charge to attend.
