NCAA Football Youth Initiative Launches Facebook Page
Posted: Jun 10, 2009
LEXINGTON, Ky. – June 10, 2009 – NCAA Football has launched a Facebook page for its Youth Initiative that provides detailed information on the program, including listings and sign-up links for upcoming youth football clinics, images and video footage from past clinics and events, photos and videos from coaches and parents that showcase their youth football players, and much more. The page will serve as an online community -- connecting youth football players, parents, coaches and NCAA Football fans worldwide.

“Since much of our target audience – youth and their parents – are on Facebook, we believed that developing this page would be a natural extension of the program,” said Bob Vecchione – chair of NCAA Football Youth Initiatives Committee. “The page is a new, robust resource for information on our Youth Initiative, and we encourage everyone interested in our Youth Initiative to become a fan, explore the page, post pictures and videos and learn more about what we’re doing.”

The Facebook page also will include information on NCAA Football programs, interactive polls, breaking news and updates on poll standings as the football season gets underway. Fans can access the page by visiting http://www.facebook.com/pages/NCAA-Football-Youth-Initiative/104099802891.
