ARLINGTON, Texas – The Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, in partnership with the Arlington Police Department, sponsored 53 girls and boys to participate in the Dallas Cowboys Football and Dance Academies youth camp held Dec. 27 at AT&T Stadium.

The Dallas Cowboys Football Academy youth camp for athletes of all skill levels from first to eighth grade offered individualized on-field coaching from former NFL players and lessons in teamwork, dedication and character from current Dallas Cowboys players. The Dallas Cowboys Dance Academy youth camp for dancers of all skill levels from age six to 16 offered a fun and interactive environment and emphasized the importance of positive self-esteem and strong core values through personalized coaching from current Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

The Cotton Bowl Classic and Arlington Police Department teamed up to identify Arlington-area youth to attend this summer camp opportunity on the Cowboys' home turf.

This marked the fourth year that the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic sponsored girls and boys to participate in these Cowboys youth camps in lieu of hosting its own youth football clinic. The Classic held youth clinics for eight years before the pandemic caused the 2020 clinic to be canceled.

The 2025 College Football Playoff at the 89th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic is set for Friday, Jan. 10, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. CT on ESPN and ESPN Radio.
