Ridgewood NJ, Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowl kicker and Ridgewood High School alum, Younghoe Koo, is set to return to Ridgewood this summer to host “Koo’s Kicking Camp.” This specialized training camp for aspiring kickers and punters in grades five through twelve is scheduled for July 8th. It will take place at Ridgewood High School’s stadium field from 9 a.m. to noon, with all proceeds benefiting the Ridgewood High School football program.
Koo is thrilled to be back in his hometown and give back to the community he holds dear. “Bringing this camp back home to Ridgewood is particularly meaningful as it’s where I began my football journey after moving from Korea,” Koo said. “I look forward to helping young athletes improve their skills and achieve their goals.”
