By Scott Rossman SPRINGFIELD, FL. You hear athletes and celebrities talk often about "giving something back" to the communities that helped make them what they are. Well for Anthony Kelly, who grew up in Campbellton, and graduated Graceville, before moving on to the University of Kentucky and now the Chicago Bears front office, this is how he "gives back." Kelly hosting the 6th C.H.A.M.P. camp, a football clinic for area youngsters. Kelly brings in area coaches, like Rob Armstrong, who coached Anthony years ago at Graceville, and is now the head coach at Rutherford. That campus hosting the camp this time around. Nearly 300 kids signing up and taking part in the camp, and along with learning about football, get a dose of character, heart, attitude, motivation and pride, or CHAMP for short. "Obviously, it's always special for me to be able to come back home and do this camp. When I look at these kids, I see myself. So we're always grateful to be able to give back in a manner, to especially the kids in this area. I tell people all the time, it's the C.H.A.M.P. Camp, not Champ's Camp. So it has nothing to do with me and there's no more proof than to watch these kids out here, running around, getting better." Rutherford and Georgia alum, and NFL veteran Will Witherspoon, who played for the Panthers, Titans, Eagles and Rams, also on hand for the camp. This the second straight year Witherspoon has also been on hand to dole out some advice and instruction of his own.

This football camp is not like the others. Not only do these plays get to sharpen their skills on the football field but the young athletes get to hear from professional athletes about life off of the field. The C.H.A.M.P camp continues to grow every year. The camp started with 50 kids at the first camp six years ago to nearly 200 young football players at this years camp. During day two of camp, Champ challenged me to get out there and show my skills. Now keep in mind I didn't want to embarrass the boys too much so I wasn't performing at my peak level. During lunch break the athletes got the chance to listen to NFL veteran and Rutherford alum, Will Witherspoon. Witherspoon said, "The kids need to be taught how to be champions and that they can be champions in many ways. "It's not just about what goes on on the field and too be back here at Rutherford of all places where I got my beginnings it's you know it's great."

Graceville alum Anthony Champ Kelly returning home for the sixth straight year to host C.H.A.M.P camp. C.H.A.M.P camp brings former collegiate and professional players from all over the country to teach young athletes skills on the football field. The camp also teaches the athletes how to behave once they take their helmets off. Anthony's nickname is Champ and C.H.A.M.P also stands for character, heart, attitude, motivation, and pride. This free camp has grown from fifty kids in its first year to more than 200 young athletes at this years camp. Champ said, "We want to be tangible to those kids so that they can do or be anything they set their minds to. So yeah, we teach football fundamentals but the most important things we stress to this kids is how to be successful off of the field, how to make appropriate decisions." Tomorrow I will be out there for day two of the camp and maybe show off a little of my skills as well.
