With Teemo Swift’s second year on the team he’s taken a bigger role in the community. Last year he attended charity events but didn’t host anything of his own. This season was different though with the hosting of a youth flag football minicamp. The event was open to middle-school aged boys and girls in the Minneapolis area. The minicamp started with an opportunity for the kids and family members to meet players and organization members from the Grey Ducks over a BBQ. Following the meet and great the kids were gathered for a discussion on putting in work. Putting in the time now was emphasized in putting yourself in the best position you can to make it to where you want to go. Following the conversation, a mock scouting combine was held that was loosely based on the real ISFL Combine. While the combine was taking place, minicamp organizers divided the kids into teams and placed their free equipment for the event in the locker rooms. Once the mock combine was complete kids were sent to their respective team areas to check out the team names and uniforms that were given for free. Each team had a Grey Ducks player who coached them through the event and gave their own experience throughout the day. Overall, the event had a great turnout and multiple players enjoyed the day having a positive impact on the community.
