The Prince was in his element as he was shown how to throw and catch a football, prompting the man who coached him to say: “I’d like to sign him up.”
And he showed deadly accuracy as he threw the ball 30 yards at photographers, scoring a direct hit on a TV cameraman.
He was shown the ropes by Troy Calhoun, head football coach at the academy and a former quarterback, and within minutes was managing to throw 40 and 50 yard passes for other cadets to catch. He also managed to catch a 50-yard pass on the run.
Mr Calhoun said: “The Prince was terrific. You can tell he has great body co-ordination, he would be a natural football player. He is aggressive, he is strong, he is smart, I would love to sign him up to the Air Force Academy football team if I could.
“Honestly I was a little surprised how good he was. It’s not an easy game to pick up and a football is not a regular ball.”
The Air Force Academy is one of two sites being used to stage the Warrior Games for injured servicemen and women, and the Prince took part in the training session as he was given a tour of some of the base’s impressive facilities.
When the Prince threw the ball at the cameramen, he grinned and told the TV man he hit that he was trying to hit one of the stills photographers. “I was aiming for John!” he joked.
Wearing a Warrior Games polo shirt, blue chinos and brown suede shoes, the Prince was taught to shout “hike” when he wanted the ball delivered to him, then showed surprising accuracy in picking out cadets who ran half the length of the pitch to catch his deliveries.
