Panthers’ Training Camp Comes into Sight

With July already underway, it’s only a matter of weeks until the Carolina Panthers take over Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where the team will hold its 2009 training camp. The practice schedule for the Panthers’ training camp has already been released, and practices will tentatively run from August 3 to August 19 (though the preseason starts August 17 with a game against the New York Giants,) with varying two-a-day practices mixed in. Practice times range from 9:10 a.m. to 6:40 p.m. and rotate days, with some days having two practices and others having one. The Panthers’ training camp festivities also includes the Fan Fest at the Bank of America Stadium at 11 a.m. on August 8, open to the public.

Aside from Fan Fest, there will also be a program called Panther Pals taking place during training camp on August 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 14, where children ages six to 13 are invited to register for the chance to meet the Carolina Panthers after practice. Five names will be chosen at random on these days, and the children selected will get Panthers t-shirts and get the opportunity to watch practice on field level and then have a meet-and-greet session with the players after practice. All training camp practices are free and open to the public, with sessions lasting between 90 minutes and two hours.
