There are four dates remaining, all of them on Sundays this month: June 19, 24 and 27. For additional information visit www.algolden.net.
Each session is staffed by Temple assistants, as well as coaches from all four NCAA divisions and prominent high school programs in the Northeast. The sessions are held at the Owls' on-campus practice/training complex.
Temple, coming off a 9-4 season and its first bowl game in 3 decades, will open against defending FCS national champion Villanova on Sept. 3 at Lincoln Financial Field. The Wildcats won last year's inaugural Mayor's Cup.
