-- Carlos Mendez


For the second year in a row, the Cowboys are closing OTAs with “Dallas Cowboys U,” a football camp for 160 under-served high school athletes from North Texas.

After they finish their last practice on Thursday morning, the Cowboys players and coaches will provide instruction and coaching to the campers, then break them up into teams captained by eight players – Tony Romo, Brandon Carr, Jay Ratliff, DeMarcus Ware, Jason Witten, Sean Lee, Miles Austin and Doug Free – for a 7-on-7 tournament.

The remaining Cowboys players will be divvied up among the teams as assistant coaches. Last year, Witten’s team beat Free’s team for the camp championship.

How awesome is this one!

The student-athletes were divided into eight teams, each led by a Dallas Cowboys player ? Tony Romo, Brandon Carr, Jay Ratliff, DeMarcus Ware, Jason Witten, Sean Lee, Miles Austin and Doug Free.

I absolutely love this kind of stuff. And you never know, maybe some day a few of those kids will be real Dallas Cowboys.

Thanks for the link, Dolly. I didn't know they had so much fun at these camps. I mean, the players were really into it and the kids will never forget this.

Always good to see players giving back to the community.

About 13 years ago, I went to a Dallas Cowboys Youth Football Coaching Clinic. We drove about 7 hours and I took a couple NON-Cowboys guys with me. By the end of the day a few of them were loving some Cowboys players. Troy, Woody, Bates, Allen, and a bunch of other guys made the day very informative and enjoyable. Campo, Switzer, and a bunch of coaches were there.. At lunch we were all taken to the conference room above the stadium and JJ spoke while we ate an awesome barbecue lunch. The best thing, It was ALL FREE. I would've payed a lot of money to have that experience. This is the stuff that JJ does right.
