COMPREHENSIVE SKILLS

With our station based training format, campers are divided by age and experience level so each receives the right level of instruction and support. We teach technique, skills and appreciation for all football playing positions.

We develop athletic skills, including individual passing, running, non-contact blocking and tackling. And we take pride in creative, effective, age-appropriate curriculum.

Kids will learn to run, throw, catch, defend, form block, form tackle and explode out of their stance with proper technique and improved speed. We run active camps so kids get multiple chances. With patience and encouragement, kids gain confidence and that's what it's all about.

ACCELERATED SKILLS SECTIONS (TACKLE PREP) AT ALL LOCATIONS

 

The Accelerated Skills Sections (Tackle Prep) are designed for dedicated, tackle-experienced players from ages 11-14 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 11 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 (Tackle Prep) will work together as a separate unit. The goal is elevate the individual skills and boost the confidence level of each camper.

The Accelerated Skills Sections (Tackle Prep) 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. 

ADVANCED PLAYER CAMP

The New, Advanced Player Youth Football Camp will be the most effective three day, eighteen hour training program available to dedicated players in the area.  This is a day camp program.
