Mission
Our Staff will cover all aspects related to proper play of a football player from the 3 point stance to how to run a better route. Campers are broken up into both offensive and defensive positions to learn the finest details of that position. We take elite level football drills and apply them to our athletes. Our younger athletes will be coached on proper fundamentals and technique as well as receiving the foundation for better mental awareness of the sport of football. With our more advanced players, proper leverage, hand placement, reading keys, shedding blocks and the finer points of the game will be taught and mastered.
Speed, Agility & Conditioning Training
Speed, agility and conditioning training is a large part of our program. Our goal is to increase the overall linear speed of our athletes as well as increase their agility, to allow them to explosively break and then accelerate again. Our athletes perform specific change of direction drills that help them on the field in game time situations. Speed and agility is KEY to becoming a better overall athlete. Our conditioning program is the difference maker. We make sure that our athletes can play with the same physical and mental capacity they did at kick-off right through to the 4th quarter and OT… when the game matters most!
