Girls Football Page !!!
On March 3rd and 4th, 2007 girls football literally took a "Giant" step in the right direction !
Thanks to the generosity of the N.F.L. , The New York Giants, Dominos Pizza and others
the first ever clinic for girls was coached by The National Champion New York Sharks Women's Tackle
football team.
The days were a great success and all had a great time. Young athletes attended from as far away as Maine.
At the start of the two day clinic a good number of the girls were strangers to one another. However by the
end of the first day they were like old pals laughing, cheering and celebrating touchdowns together ! By
Sunday afternoon the ladies were clearly reluctant to leave their new found friends. Many were seen
swapping phone numbers and email addresses.
To be sure this transformation was no accident.
Guided under the skilled and watchful eye of coach Debra Vance as well as her staff the young athletes got
a pleasant course not only in the basics of football but also in team work, respect, pride and responsibility.
So the end result of melding the 100 or so girls into a cohesive "Team" was an expected one.
However, what was truly amazing was that the coaches were able to do so in such a remarkably short time !
To be sure, we hope this is just a beginning of more great things to come for girls football.
In fact we're going to use this opportunity to launch our Girls Football Section which will now be a permanent
part of FOOTBALLSHOOTERS.COM !

FINALLY, A SITE DEDICATED TO FOOTBALL PHOTOGRAPHY !!!!
Got Football???? Most boys have to answer no to that question but about 150
girls who signed up for the recent Girls only JPD camp at Giants stadium girls
can answer with a loud yes. The NFL and The New York Giants sponsored
the second annual girls only JPD football clinic. The camp was run by the
women of The New York Sharks.
Once again, we clap our hands in a show of appreciation to Coach Debra
Vance . Last season she molded the girls into functional teams within two
days. This year, mother nature upped the ante on Coach Vance. Since
Fridays snow storm dumped so much snow in the area Saturdays camp had to
be cancelled, So coach Vance only had one day, Sunday, to work with the
girls.
True to their nature, Coach Vance and her staff of Sharks pulled victory out of
the jaws of defeat by accomplishing their goals in half of the time as last year's
camp.
Before the day was over the young ladies who attended the camp were scoring
touchdowns, intercepting passes and throwing up high fives all around.
If you intended to participate in the camp, you missed a great one....
But there's always next year.

Since this is the third annual girls only camp some of the
young ladies already knew each other from previous years
and so being together was like being with old friends. Once
again this year the camp was attended by the Goldsack twins
. The girls, Jenna and Paige, who live in New Jersey play for
Rutherford High school's JV team. After some brief
introductions the girls got right down to work with warm ups
and sprints, just like the boys do.
Not only was it great to see that the numbers of girls
participating in the camp is growing but any onlooker would be
pleasantly surprised to see the game skills which these young
ladies posses. No doubt a good many of these ladies not only
have a love for the game but are also natural athletes.
In the past Girls have traveled from as far away as Maine to
participate in the camp. This year, girls from three of New
York City's high schools attended. Harry Truman, Herbert
Lehman and Dewitt Clinton had girls who participated in the
two day event. Understanding what this camp means to these
young ladies is something which could easily be over looked.
Since football is readily accepted and available to most boys
who want to play it's something which could be taken for
granted. For these girls attending this
NFL sponsored event not only gave these young ladies a
chance to play this game, which they are so passionate about
but it also gave them a chance to do it with other girls who
have that same passion and that means so much to them.
From all that we can tell a good number of these young ladies
literally dreamed about the event the same way a youngster
dreams about Christmas.

Looking back at the event, It was
clear that all of the participants had a
great time as they continued to make

event.
Also included in the swarm of girls at
the two day camp were girls from
Harry Truman high school as well as
the dual participation of girls from
Dewitt Clinton and Lehman. All three

York City.
A healthy number of girls from

great to see the girls come together
at this event which is clearly growing

2009 Girls Sunday Shots Posted !
Brown held the pigskin tight and close to
the body just as coach had taught a very
special group of players in the bubble at
Giants Stadium on a recent cold winter
morning. As defenders rushed in to grab
the hip flags Brown changed direction
with all the ease of a gazelle.
With long strides and expert cutting
Brown was standing in the end zone with
in seconds...... celebrating with team
mates. Of course, Nandi Brown was just
one of about 150 girls who signed up for
the 3rd annual girls only two-day JPD
camp at Giants Stadium !
