FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots Alumni Club (NEPAC), the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation and the Boston Centers for Youth and Families teamed up to give more than 100 excited 12- to 14-year-olds some hands-on football training on Saturday, June 23 at the Second Annual "Football For You" youth clinic.

"Football For You" is an initiative presented by NEPAC to the City of Boston and the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation to teach kids more about football from Patriots alumni who excelled at the sport. Andre Tippett, Pete Brock and Ronnie Lippett were among the 12 past Patriot greats who served as instructors during the clinic, which took place at Boston English High School.

The City of Boston and Mayor Thomas Menino were pivotal in the success of the event for the second consecutive year. Thanks to the help of the Punt, Pass and Kick volunteers, including Pop Warner's Regional Director, Al Perillo, all the kids had a chance to compete for a spot in the sectional competitions. Also on hand to help out was the three-time high school Super Bowl Champion coaching staff from St. John's High School in Shrewsbury, Mass., led by head coach and former Patriot linebacker John Andreoli.

"The second year doing this football clinic, overall, was awesome," said Tippett, who acted as the Master of Ceremonies for the event. "We had tremendous support from the alumni coaches, especially John and his staff. Of course, the City of Boston and Mayor Thomas Menino were a great help to us. We saw a ton of talent from the young athletes in the City of Boston that, if they continue to follow this course, should have a promising career in Pop Warner, through high school and beyond."

The New England Patriots Alumni Club's mission is to support and fund youth and high school sports programs throughout New England with an emphasis on football.

The purpose of the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation is to assist a variety of charitable organizations and programs by supporting their educational, family and health initiatives.

The Mission of Boston Centers for Youth & Families is to enhance the quality of life for Boston's residents by supporting children, youth and families through a wide range of programs and services.
