The former Northridge Jaguar said it was not too late to sign up. The cost is $50 per camper and players can register on the YMCA website or when they show up at the gate. His camp is partnering with the YMCA and PARA to put on the event at Central High School.

"It mean's a lot for those guys to help with this and let me know that they're behind me and support my decision 100% and I want to thank them for being able to do this with me and taking time out of their schedule to help with this," said Scarbrough.
