2023 Football – Winter Camps

The purpose for football skills training is to help younger athletes develop in every area of football except for full contact blocking and tackling. Skills the incoming players can expect to develop during the program are:

– Functional strength and mobility
– Throwing and catching development (Every player catches a minimum of 50 balls per session)
– The proper stances for offensive and defensive players
– Overall footwork development for every position
– Intro to route running. Players learn and improve their route running skills.
– Intro to man coverage. Players learn the fundamentals for off and press coverage.
– 1 v 1’s – Players use what they have learned and compete in route running and coverage against one another. This part of the program is important because it gives coach(s) the opportunity help players understand and adjust route running and coverage skills without the pressure of winning or losing a game. Players are matched up by skill level.
– Iron ball- a two hand touch football game designed to give players the opportunity to scheme and work as a team. This touch football game is the foundation for all football games to come in a young players career and is often the first time a player will use their skill sets in a game type setting.
– Every session is completed with Football Yoga. Designed to strengthen and lengthen the muscles of players for the purpose of increasing physical performance, injury prevention and increasing mobility.

This program is for players that are new to the sport, players that have played on a team or are playing but want more training to develop their skills. Because this is a non-contact football skills training program all skill levels train well together.

Age range: 8 to 14 younger and older players may be eligible to participate depending on their skill level.

Athletes that enter this program should sign up if they are preparing to play football in either youth flag football, extreme flag football, youth tackle football or they are prepping to get ready for middle school or high school football.
