Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is bringing NFL energy to the Southern Tier today with a youth football camp for young athletes in the Binghamton/Johnson City area.

The James Cook Youth Football Camp is scheduled for Monday, July 6, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Johnson City High School, according to the current FlexWork Sports event listing. WBNG previously reported that Cook would host a local youth football camp in the Binghamton area, putting one of the Buffalo Bills’ biggest offensive names directly in front of young football players from the region.

For local sports fans, this is more than a celebrity appearance. Cook is listed by the Buffalo Bills as a running back on the team’s official roster, and the Bills’ own website has highlighted him as one of the team’s major offensive playmakers, including references to his 2025 season highlights and rushing-title discussion.

Youth camps like this give local players a rare chance to share the field with a professional athlete, learn football fundamentals, work through drills, and experience the kind of energy that can stay with a young athlete long after the camp ends. For families in Broome County and the wider Southern Tier, having an NFL player come into the community is a major sports moment.

It also matters for the local sports culture. The Southern Tier has a strong high school athletics scene, active youth programs, and a deep Buffalo Bills fan base. When a Bills player comes to town, it connects professional football to local kids, local fields, and local families in a way that box scores cannot.

The camp is being hosted through FlexWork Sports, which organizes youth sports programs with professional athletes. FlexWork’s listing identifies the event as the James Cook Youth Football Camp in Johnson City and lists the location as Johnson City High School at 666 Reynolds Road.

For young athletes, the message is simple: the game can start on a local field, but the dream can reach much farther.

For Broome County, today’s camp is a reminder that local sports coverage is not only about scores. It is about opportunity, inspiration, and the moments when big-name athletes show up where local kids can see them, meet them, and maybe imagine themselves going further too.
