Kids can test their speed in the 40-yard dash and assess their accuracy passing a football. They can also participate in agility and quickness drills with local coaches.
While they are there, visitors can explore two sports exhibitions: “Super Steelers,” and “A Great Day for Hockey.”
The Pittsburgh Steeline, a professional drum line from Pittsburgh, will perform and there will be a touchdown dance contest.
The event’s goal is to encourage young fans to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.
