BSU Football Hosts "Road to Kindergarten"

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- The Bridgewater State University football team and coaching staff hosted the Tenth Annual "Road to Kindergarten" on Thursday, August 24th at the Swenson Athletic Complex. 

The annual community event, designed for the children who are entering kindergarten at Bridgewater elementary schools, started at 9:00am with over 100 kindergarteners and 100 football players as well as the Bears' coaching staff.

The children participated in a number of different activities including jumping over bags, running and throwing the football, and practicing their touchdown dances.

After refueling with plenty of water, the children made their way to the open field for more fun. There were multipe stations of activities such as duck-duck-goose and freeze tag, as well as two different bounce-houses donated by Busy Bee Jumpers and former BSU football standout Sal Lango '06.

The weather was perfect and everyone had a great deal of fun. The football players were incredible at engaging with each kindergartener and guiding them through the morning.
