TALLAHASSEE, Fl. (WTXL) - To have the opportunity to learn from your sports best is what every athlete wants. To pick the brain of say, Deion Sanders, for a football player would be pretty cool.

Well guess what Big Bend? Saturday in Tallahassee, you can do just that. Former Godby coach Todd Lanter, current Godby coach Corey Fuller, and Primetime himeself are teaming up for the North Florida Legends Camp.

Kids in attendance will get instruction from Fuller, who played a decade in the NFL, Sanders, Antonio Brown, Wally Williams, and Jacquez Green among others.

"In our area, it's difficult for the kids in the Big Bend to have some place to go unless they have to travel," Lanter said. "In an effort to help all kids, Coach Fuller and I decided to put a camp together. Hopefully this will be an annual thing and maybe even turn into something more."

"Me and Deion go back since I was 17. I'm 46 now, and anytime I call him he's always there," said Fuller. "Coach Lanter has been a great help to me to put this camp on and take to spearhead it. This is just the jump start of it, and it will be an annual thing."

There are two sessions for Saturday's camp, Session I is for grades 6-8. Registration starts at Gene Cox Stadium from 7am to 8am. Camp will start at 8:30 and end at 11:30. The cost is $25.00.

Session II is for grades 9-12. Registration is at 12:30pm. Camp starts at 1:30, and ends at 5:00. The cost is $50.
