Last week, Grand Bahama was pleased to host Michael Strachan, wide receiver with the Indianapolis Colts, who was here on his home island to hold his first football camp with his sponsor Playtime Sports. Much to the delight of the 120 children who attended the free, one-day camp, Strachan brought with him two other National Football League (NFL) players, Tarik Black from the Baltimore Ravens, and Kemoko Turay from the San Francisco 49ers.
Strachan grew up in Freeport and is one of only four Bahamians to play in the NFL. He was a college football and track athlete at Charleston before being selected by the Colts in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
The one-day camp ran from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday.
The children were given lunch and a backpack of goodies from the organizers.
Strachan also took time the day before to sign autographs for fans at Playtime Sports.
Kudos to Michael Strachan, his family and sponsors for helping him give back to the Grand Bahama community. It’s great to see “sons of the soil” returning to support their country and, we hope, future players, too.
