JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP INFORMATION GUIDE
WHAT IS JTC & HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Dallas Cowboys / Gatorade Junior Training Camp (JTC) is a complimentary, grass
roots football clinic facilitated by the Dallas Cowboys for elementary school students
(both boys and girls) between the ages of 7 and 14.

JTC features the educational and recreational benefits of football presented in a safe
and fun environment. For several years, the program has been very successful at
elementary schools in Dallas, Irving, Arlington, Coppell and other area school
districts.

The curriculum for JTC is very safe and was developed by Gatorade so that ANY
student can participate - regardless of age, gender, ability or experience. The purpose
of JTC is to emphasize fun, instead of winning.

JTC is a COOPERATIV E outreach program — the Dallas Cowboys JTC staff provide all
of the necessary equipment and help YOUR SCHOOL facilitate the program on-site.

However, the success of your school’s JTC depends entirely on your own organization
and teacher / volunteer interaction with the participating students.

The school contact person is responsible for arranging at least six (6) volunteers to
assist with the event implementation - assigning each volunteer to one of the six
football drill stations. The volunteers do not need to be athletically inclined to conduct
the assigned stations. The JTC staff will be on hand to instruct and provide
assistance.

It is also suggested that the school contact person divide the participating
students into six (6) individual groups prior to the start of the program.

SCHOOL / ORGANIZATION REQUIREMENTS
Each participating school or organization must meet the following requirements in
order to have the JTC appear at their facility.
  Each child MUST have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian to participate! Children will not be
  allowed to participate in the clinic without a waiver. No exceptions will be made. Please allow
  am ple time to distribute and collect the signed waivers from each child.

  Each school or organization must provide a minimum of six (6) volunteers. The camp has six (6)
  stations, therefore one (1) volunteer, teacher, or coach must be provided per station.

  PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THERE ARE NOT AT LEAST SIX (6) VOLUNTEERS PRESENT WHEN THE JTC
  STAFF ARRIVE AT THE FACILITY, THE PROGRAM WILL UNFORTUNATELY NOT PROCEED.

  Each school or organization must provide a safe playing field with enough space to accommo-
  date six (6) stations consisting of approximately 20 x 20-yard space. No tar cement, concrete,
  etc. can be used. No exception.

  The volunteers must meet with the JTC Coordinator prior to the session. At that time, the
  curriculum will be reviewed and t he coordinator will demonstrate the drills.

  Each school is required to provide a t able/stand for a cooler of Gatorade (provided by Gatorade)
  and trash cans/bags for the discarded cups.

  A gymnasium, auditorium or cafeteria is required for motivational talk and performance by
  ROWDY, the official mascot of the Dallas Cowboys.

  A TV / VCR must be provided for Rowdy’s introduction video and performance.

              NOTE: All equipment needed to conduct the camp including cones,
