On April 22nd and 23rd, ADBsports (Athletic Department Boys) and Belmont Heights Little League will be presenting their first annual TNT Sports Football Camp at the complex on 22nd Street and Dr. MLK, Jr. Boulevard. The camp will begin at 9 a.m.

A member of ADBsports, Jarriett Buie, said he and the other players involved want everyone to come out and be a part of history in the making.

“The event will be held during spring break of 2011. We welcome middle and high school students.”
Buie said right now, they are trying to get shirts, shorts, better equipment and a new logo for ADBsports.

“What we’re trying to do is bring the young guys 10 to 18 years old together with NFL and college guys for a mentoring process.”

“With college and NFL players involved in ADBsports, everybody will bring something different to the table. We’re reaching out to a lot of guys, because we all feel this is our way of giving back.”

Buie said at the camp, you will see NFL players, college athletes, coaches, and various sponsors that will be there for the development of youth in the area.

Buie, a graduate of Armwood High School and the University of South Florida, was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2009.

The 6’4”, 250 pound defensive end recently played for the United Football League’s Florida Tuskers, and recently signed with the Tampa Bay Storm Arena League.

“I’ll be with the Storm for a year. I have something going on in Canada, and I’ll be going back to play for the team in Montreal. My desire is to one day return to the NFL.”

Buie said if there are any organizations that would like to join them, call (813) 655-2750, or (813) 409-9481.

“Help us give our youth a competitive edge and advantage in showcasing their talent. We want everyone to come out and support their affiliations and schools.”

The camp will be non-contact offensive and defensive.
