Good morning, Harrisburg.

Earlier this week, the Steel-High Rollers football team spent time coaching at the Steel-High United Youth Soccer Camp at Highspire Memorial Park (in Dauphin County) to give back to local youth.

They organized drills (and played games) with the children to build positive sports skills before fall season begins.
