Super Fest is an annual fully inclusive football and cheerleading clinic culminating in a gameday experience where youth and young adults of varying abilities, including those with developmental disabilities, are genuinely welcomed and experience the excitement of the Big Game weekend. The first 2 hours are an individual skills clinic. During the last hour, we provide an opportunity for all participants to participate in a gameday experience.
