Football Fundamentals!
Our four-day football camp focuses on football fundamentals for young athletes ages 6 to 13. On the first day, campers will be divided into groups based on the four age breakouts as used by the CFA Youth Football League (age 6-7 Smurfs, age 8-9 Peewees, age 10-11 Ponys, age 12-13 Midgets). Campers will then progress through a series of "stations" where instruction is given. Some of the stations will utilize what they are learning, and we will record their punts, passes and kicks. Depending on the heat, we will give frequent water breaks! Our goals is for the camp atmosphere to be positive and fun for all attendees.  

All campers will receive age-appropriate training and instruction on the following football topics, and more:

• Proper 2-, 3-, and 4-point stances

• Firing Out

• Blocking techniques

• Hand-offs and how to properly carry the football

• Punting

• Passing

• Kicking

• Sportsmanship

• Leadership

• Listening

All Campers will receive a GS Camp t-shirt!!
Camp will conclude with award presentations, including group winners for Pass, Kick, and Punt competitions.

Plus! Four Camp MVP's will be selected at each of the four age groups.

Camp "Special Guests" will include local High School and College coaches and players.

Camp attire:  t-shirt, shorts and cleats. BRING YOUR OWN WATER JUG. 
No mouth guards or physicals are required.
