Saginaw native and Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl Linebacker LaMarr Woodley is hosting his 3rd Annual Football Camp, giving children of Saginaw an incredible opportunity to learn about football from NFL players in a fun environment. Woodley will also be hosting a Pro Bowl Party at The Horizon Center in Saginaw. The party will be held after the camp on Saturday, June 12, from 9 pm - 2 am, to celebrate Woodley being named to his first pro bowl for his outstanding performance this past season.
 
Joining Woodley this year for his weekend festivities will be several of his Michigan and Steelers teammates. Confirmed participants include Braylon Edwards, Mike Hart, Steve Breaston, David Harris, Leon Hall and many more.
 
This is the last week of registration for the FREE camp being held Saturday, June 12 at Saginaw High School. The camp is for youth ages 8 . 15 years old and each participant will receive a t-shirt and lunch, as well as have the opportunity to meet with LaMarr and the other NFL celebrities. Parents can find the registration form and waiver at Coach Donald Durrett's office at Saginaw High this week. Please return ALL forms to Coach Durrett by May 31. Camp is limited to the first 300 children, so please register now! Tickets for the Pro Bowl Party are available at Horizon Center, Platinum Wireless, and The Rib Shack. Tickets are $25 ahead of time and $30 at the door. VIP Tickets are available for $125 and includes free food and beverages.
 
LaMarr Woodley had an incredible playoff run in 2008 and with two sacks in both the Divisional Round and Conference Championship, Woodley became the first player in NFL history to record three consecutive multi-sack playoff games, dating back to the Steelers' 31-29 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card Round of the 2008 playoffs. In Super Bowl XLIII, Woodley extended this streak to four games when he sacked Kurt Warner twice, forcing the game-ending fumble on Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner with 5 seconds remaining in the game to secure the win. In 2009, LaMarr built upon his strong showing the season before by recording 13.5 sacks, a career high. He was also named to his first ever Pro Bowl.
 
The 3rd Annual LaMarr Woodley Football Camp is made possible by Powerade, SmartWater, NIKE, EA Sports, the Springhill Suites, Hometown Sports, Subway and FedEx.
