The Arizona Rattlers Arena Football team hosted a Kids Camp on Saturday morning at Copper Sky Regional Park for children between the ages of 8 and 15. Players and coaches divided the kids into small groups and cycled them through several stations to work on individual football skills, from how to throw to how to tackle and even how not to false start.
