First Play

The First Play event features a three-mile long human chain of area youngsters that will stretch from the Frank T. Bow Building in downtown Canton (201 2nd Street S.W.) where the NFL was founded in 1920, to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The object of First Play is to kick off the NFL preseason by tossing an official NFL football from one participant to the next along the route until it reaches the Pro Football Hall of Fame. More than 1,500 area youths between the ages of six and seventeen are expected to participate in this exciting event.

Registration forms will be available shortly.
