Scranton, PA -- Hundreds of young athletes filled Valor Field at Scranton’s Veterans Memorial Stadium on Monday evening for a once-in-a-lifetime experience with NFL star and Super Bowl champion Saquon Barkley.
Hosted by FlexWork Sports, the event brought boys and girls ages 6–16 together for an evening of football, inspiration, and fun alongside one of the game’s most electrifying talents. A packed house of fans and families looked on as Barkley—who starred at Whitehall High School just down the Northeast Extension—returned to his Pennsylvania roots to give back to the next generation.
Campers rotated through high-energy drills and received hands-on instruction from Barkley himself, soaking in both knowledge and motivation from the pride of Penn State and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The event was made possible through the support of partners including Atlantic Outdoors LLC, DICK’S House of Sport, TruFit Customs, and local nonprofit, Build-N-Athlete.
