FORT DRUM, N.Y. — Before scrimmaging at Fort Drum on Thursday evening, Syracuse players and coaches held a youth clinic for the children of the base’s soldiers.

Scott Shafer was extremely pleased with how excited his team was to play with the kids, as each of the team’s units had a station for to come through. Dressed in full pads, the kids bolted from drill to drill while their parents and coaches followed. But between the SU players and players from the Fort Drum Mountaineers Pop Warner team, it was hard to tell who was having more fun.

Here are some videos from the clinic:
