RICHMOND, Va.
– The Washington Redskins, in partnership with Bon Secours Virginia
Health System, the City of Richmond and the Virginia Governor’s Office,
announced their 2015 training
camp schedule, set to take place at the world-class Bon Secours
Washington Redskins Training Center from July 30 through Aug. 16 in Richmond, Va. The schedule features a total of 23 public on-field sessions available to fans, highlighted by joint practices
with the Houston Texans on Aug. 6-8 and Fan Appreciation Day on Saturday, Aug. 15.
Admission is free for all fans.
Following practice, Redskins players and coaches will be made available
to sign autographs and take pictures with fans, schedules permitting.
All scheduled dates and practice
times are subject to change.
The $10 million
state-of-the-art training center debuted in 2013 and features two
full-size natural grass fields, a natural grass drill field, spectator
areas, locker rooms and a high-tech training room. Last
year, the facility welcomed more than 164,000 fans during the course of
camp, including more than 60,000 fans during three days of the
Redskins’ joint practices with the New England Patriots. This year’s
joint practices with the Houston Texans will provide
added exposure for the team’s annual camp, as the visit coincides with
the Texans’ featured appearance on HBO’s
HARD KNOCKS.
Bon Secours Virginia
Health System operates the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training
Center, which serves as a valuable year-round resource for the community
when camp is not in session. A full-service sports
medicine rehabilitation and primary care practice are provided
throughout the year in addition to men’s health, fitness and education
programs. The facility is also home to
movin’ mania, Bon Secours’ healthy kids initiative.
The City of Richmond has
developed field utilization plans to ensure the facility is available
for a variety of sporting events and other activities throughout the
year. The fields are available for youth programming,
tournaments and other uses that generate revenue and positive exposure
for the City of Richmond when camp is not in session. The facility has
also previously served as the minicamp host of the Canadian Football
League’s Ottawa REDBLACKS.
During the team’s stay
in Richmond and throughout the 2014 calendar year, Washington Redskins
Charitable Foundation youth programs directly impacted more than 9,000
children in the Richmond community. Events and
activities impacting Richmond youth included the team’s annual High
School Coaches Clinic, a Back to School Shopping Spree presented by
Macy’s, Richmond All-Stars VIP Training Camp Experiences, the 4th &
Life High School Football Forum, the Coaches in the
Classroom program, the Get the Ball Rolling Flag Football Tournament
and more. The Charitable Foundation also created the Redskins Read
Across Richmond Summer Reading Program, a collaborative effort with
Richmond Public Schools and Chesterfield County Public
Schools to encourage kids to track the number of minutes they read over
the summer to win prizes for themselves and their school.
In addition to the
opportunity to watch practice, the Redskins will offer special events,
giveaways and other unique fan experiences. Fans can also enjoy various
interactive displays and purchase their favorite
Redskins merchandise at the Redskins Team Store tent.
The
City of Richmond will offer a variety of parking options for Redskins
fans during training camp. Available parking lots provided by the City
of Richmond will be announced
closer to camp.
