RICHMOND, Va. – The Washington Redskins, in partnership with the City of Richmond, Bon Secours Virginia Health System, and the Virginia Governor's Office, announced their 2017 training camp schedule, set to take place at the world-class Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center from July 27 through August 13 in Richmond, Va. The schedule features a total of 23 public on-field sessions available to fans, highlighted by Fan Appreciation Day on Saturday, August 5.
Admission is free for all fans. Online registration will be open to Redskins fans in early June. Available parking lots provided by the City of Richmond will be announced closer to camp.
Between practice sessions, fans will have the opportunity to meet Redskins alumni and cheerleaders, participate in various family-friendly activities and purchase Redskins merchandise at the Redskins Team Store retail tent.

The $10 million state-of-the-art training center debuted in 2013 and features two full-size natural grass fields, a drill field, spectator areas, locker rooms and a training room. Bon Secours Virginia Health System is the main tenant of Training Center, which serves as a valuable year-round resource for the community when camp is not in session. A full-service sports medicine rehabilitation and primary care practice are provided throughout the year in addition to men's health, fitness and educational programs.
The City of Richmond in partnership with SMG manages year-round events at the venue. The fields are available for youth programming, tournaments and other events that generate revenue and exposure for the City of Richmond throughout the year.
During the team's stay in Richmond and throughout the 2016 calendar year, Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation youth programs impacted more than 14,000 children in the Richmond community. Events and activities included a Mom's Football 101 Clinic, a $58,000 sports equipment donation to local non-profits, expansion of the 2016 - 2017 Redskins Read Program, Coaches in the Classroom and more.
