2011 Frank Ski Youth Bowl Banquet
This is year's Youth Bowl banquet was sponsored by The Cam Newton Foundation. Cam's father was the master of ceremony at the banquet. The banquet gave the participating young men and ladies an opportunity to get dressed up and have a great meal. They were also blessed with the encouraging words from local senior student athletes who are moving on to the college ranks. Frank Ski and Mr. Newton surprised the attendees with a live Skype from NFL Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback sensation Cam Newton who also participated in the Frank Ski Youth Bowl.

The 2011 Annual Youth Bowl will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at Henry W. Grady High School Stadium with a kick off time of 12:00pm. The stadium is located at 929 Charles Allen Drive, Atlanta, Ga. This year's collaboration with The Cam Newton Foundation is sure to be the biggest Youth Bowl yet!
This is only competition of its kind in the southeast region. Thousands of kids practice and play with determination throughout their park/recreation program season to qualify for the opportunity to be selected as one of the four teams advancing to the Frank Ski Kids Foundation Annual Youth Bowl. In order to be considered, a team must meet the age-weight requirements set, win its respective league championship and only experienced one loss during its regular season. After all qualifying teams are examined, the selection is narrowed to four. Those four advance and challenge each other in the playoffs. Two teams are eliminated and the remaining two advance and headline the championship game.
A well-organized effort in its own right, players are provided with an opportunity to compete with players of the same age and size to reduce risk and injury. Each annual bowl educates football players and cheerleaders alike in the areas of discipline, leadership and skill. After the experience, the participants truly appreciate their accomplishments as a team and not as individuals. Teamwork is rewarded and celebrated guaranteeing the reinforcement our youth both need and deserve.
Thanks to its popularity, our wonderful sponsors and supporters, the Frank Ski Kids Foundation Youth Bowl continues to grow in numbers each year. In an effort to remain current, there are basic rules and regulations we adhere to. For a list of these rules and regulations, please view the Official Frank Ski Kids Foundation Youth Bowl Rulebook.
Youth Bowl provides vital financial support to parks and recreation programs serving children throughout the Atlanta Metropolitan area. Participation in these programs provides valuable life and social skill development.
