All spots filled for DGB youth football camp

The good news is that Camp DGB is still on for Saturday at Hillcrest High School.

The bad news is that if you haven’t pre-registered, you’re out of luck.

All 200 spots have been filled for the youth football camp, which is open to grades 2-8 and will include instruction by Dorial Green-Beckham, former Hillcrest star and current Tennessee Titans wide receiver, and Clay Harbor, former Missouri State tight end who is currently on the New England Patriots roster.

“Springfield is my home,” Green-Beckham said last month, “and I want to give back to my community.”

The camp also is expected to include one of DGB’s teammates on the Titans, some former Mizzou and Oklahoma players, members of the Hillcrest coaching staff and current Missouri State players.

The camp has several corporate sponsors, with all proceeds from the camp going to the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center at Mercy Hospital in Springfield.

“I’m always going to be a part of Springfield and I’m always going to be there for kids,” Green-Beckham said. "I just want to be able to help them.”

For the lucky 200 campers who have pre-registered, the camp will include some light moments, running through some drills and advice from the NFL players, plus some time to chat and answer questions.
