Accelerated Skills Football Instruction

Philadelphia Eagles Youth Football Camps
For dedicated, tackle-experienced players, ages 10-14.

Available at all locations.

The Accelerated Skills Sections are designed for dedicated, tackle-experienced players from ages 10-14 years old. The section is an “advanced class room” within our Comprehensive Skills Camps.

The section is also a non-contact format.

To qualify, players must be ages 10 to 14 years old with a minimum of one or more years of tackle football playing experience.

With a cohesive, experienced group of players expecting more intensity, our coaches have a better opportunity to deliver more advanced instruction, more frequent repetitions, improved training technique, more challenging fitness drills and advanced team play concepts.

During camp mornings, the Accelerated Skills Sections will work together as a separate unit. The goal is elevate the individual skills and boost the confidence level of each camper.

Afternoons feature more team oriented challenges, skill challenges, 5-on-5 tournaments and team instruction.

The Accelerated Skills Sections will join other Comprehensive Skills campers for a number of experiences and football challenges. Those combined experiences will include indoor class room curriculum, Hero interactions, lunch, scrimmages and competitions leading up to Super Bowl Friday.
