Celebrity coaches and video applications: Here's what we're learning about Trump's 'Patriot Games'

The Trump administration is planning to match teen competitors with celebrity coaches for the televised “Patriot Games” athletic contest, one of the events marking the United States’ 250th anniversary.

A spokesperson for Freedom 250, the non-profit group leading the administration’s celebrations, provided new details to CNN after President Donald Trump formally announced the event in December. The spokesperson did not provide any names of the celebrities the group is recruiting to work with the teenaged participants.

The competition will take place in the fall. Trump teased the event as “an unprecedented four-day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes — one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.”

Athletic ability will not be the sole factor considered for eligibility. Potential volunteers will need to submit an online video application responding to a number of prompts to explain why they want to be chosen to represent their state, the spokesperson said.
