Rams HC Sean McVay jokes about team's plans for Maui minicamp
The Los Angeles Rams are taking their June minicamp to the beaches of Maui, Hawaii, this year as part of a partnership with the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
It's a first-of-its-kind move for the team and the league, and one Rams head coach Sean McVay joked would be barely about football.
'Let's not kid ourselves," McVay said at the Sportico Invest West event this week, "we're not getting [expletive] done football-wise.'
While he said it in jest, McVay noted that the more important part of the trip is getting the opportunity for the Rams (players, coaching staff and other team staff) to immerse themselves in the city and culture. In addition to practices, the Rams will host a girls flag football and boys football clinic as well as a PLAY 60 Field Day during their week on the island.
"Typically what we would use that time for anyways is more of connection, team-oriented activities," McVay added. "And when this situation kind of came about it really end being up a cool concept to be able to also include family members, people that aren't players and staff members."
So, while the trip will be about football, it won't include as much actual football for the Rams as they continue on in their workout schedule heading into the 2025 season.
