Milton, MA - Curry Football Assistant Coach Kyle Chung was recently selcted to participate in the NFL Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship this year. The fellowship has helped coaches gain exposure to NFL training camps and offseason workout programs for over 30 years.

Chung, the Colonels' Offensive Line/Run Game Coordinator will participate in the fellowship with the Washington Commanders.

The program's objective is to use NFL clubs' training camps, offseason workout programs and minicamps to give talented coaches opportunities to:

• Observe
• Participate
• Gain experience
• Ultimately gain a full-time NFL coaching position

Designed as a vocational tool to increase the number of full-time NFL minority coaches, all 32 NFL clubs participate each year. Specific aspects of the program — including hiring, compensation and coaching duties — are administered on a club-by-club basis. The NFL does not mandate any elements of the fellowship to the clubs, but it recommends several best practices, including:

• Hiring participants for the duration of training camp, including all pre-season games.
• Encouraging clubs to hire at least two fellows with an offensive coaching background.
• Mentoring participants in the form of continuing and constructive feedback regarding their work while with the club.
