Four Navarre area soccer players joined about 1,000 other girls earlier this month to highlight their skills during the Olympic Development Program Region Three Camp at the University of Montevallo, south of Birmingham, Alabama. During the five-day event, players from 12 states competed against each year, while staff members from the U.S. National Team watching looking for potential prospects.

The Navarre Beach Volleyball Club’s (NBVC) inaugural beach season has almost wrapped up for the season. Michelle Lee, the club’s new director, coached nearly 30 young women through practices at Juana’s Pagodas and tournaments from Mobile to Panama City.

About 130 high school and middle school football players and their parents spent last weekend in Navarre, so the youth athletes could hone their skills learning from Super Bowl and All-Pro NFL players and coaches. Keith Brahms organized the local camp for Football University, a company that holds the player training events across the country.
