Former NFL wide receiver J.D. Hill and San Jose SaberCats head coach and co-owner Darren Arbet are facilitating a football camp for kids on Monday and Tuesday at Edison High.

Both played at Edison for the late Charles Washington and are keeping his legacy alive with the third installment of the Coach Charles Washington spring football camp that is free to kids. Registration both days is at 8 a.m., and the camp will run until about 11:30 a.m.

"We want to keep the momentum with the camp going with Coach Washington," said Hill, the No. 4 overall pick of the Buffalo Bills in 1971 out of Arizona State. "We'll give the kids a chance to run around and work on their skills."

Lunch will be available both days, and each participant will receive a T-shirt. Hill, Arbet and other coaches will talk to the kids about making good choices in life, something Coach Washington stressed in his long career as a coach and mentor in Stockton.

"This is something we need to do to keep his legacy alive," said Hill, who lives in Chandler, Ariz. "We're trying to make an impact on pre-teens and kids going into high school where they either do the right thing or get mixed up with the wrong crowd."
