Dick’s Sporting Goods is sponsoring eighth annual NFL Play 60 Training Camp from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum inside the Senator John Heinz History Center in the Strip District.

Admission to the museum is free for kids age 17 and under. No registration is needed.

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.
