INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A new school year is about to begin for kids across the Hoosier state, which means it’s time for the Indianapolis Colts to begin some lessons of their own.

Colts players will report to training camp at Westfield’s Grand Park Sports Campus on Wednesday. The team’s first practice session will kick off at 10 a.m. Thursday and fans are invited to pack the stands as their favorite players start preparing for the preseason.

This year, fans can choose from 12 practice sessions. Each practice will offer open bleacher seating, family-friendly activities, and the chance to get up close and personal with the players.

For seven of the twelve practices, tickets are free. On Primetime Practice days – July 27-28; Aug. 4, 14 & 15 –  tickets are $5 for fans 18 or older. Proceeds will benefit the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis’ flag football program.

The 2024 season will mark the sixth year the team will host training camp at Grand Park.
