The Philadelphia Eagles are coming to Bethlehem, PA!
USA Football Certified Coaches, Philadelphia Eagles Heroes to teach athletic skills, football skills and life skills to kids ages 6-14
In what many kids consider “the best sports week of summer,” the Philadelphia Eagles will come to Bethlehem’s Catholic High School, from July 20-24 for one week of non-contact football instruction and fun. Kids ages 6 to 14 are welcomed to attend.
Philadelphia Eagles Youth Football Camps are led by professional, USA Football certified coaches with support from Philadelphia Heroes like Garry Cobb, William Thomas, and Vince Papale.
In a safe, non-contact football format, kids learn to run, throw, catch, defend, form block, form tackle and develop speed for the tackle or flag football game. Newcomers are also encouraged to attend.

“With USA Football coaches and Philadelphia Eagles heroes leading the way, kids gain real confidence.” says Mike Gross, Operations Director for Philadelphia Eagles Youth Football Camps. “It starts with quality instruction and repetition, so kids have a real chance to learn. Inside those goals, we have to make it fun. We are able to do that with a great plan, an age appropriate curriculum and lots of very positive people.”
Within the skill development goals, the Philadelphia Eagles consider teaching USA Football’s Heads Up Football curriculum a top priority, especially for the tackle-bound players.

“While our camp is non-contact, we do teach form and fit contact based on the Heads Up Football curriculum. We develop muscle memory. We give kids and parents an understanding why the Heads Up techniques are important. Kids become better, safer players.”
Philadelphia Eagles Youth Football Camps welcome local tackle, flag, cross-training and newcomers to the game. Kids should expect a physically active and athletically challenging camp with fun games to conclude each day.
Five day Philadelphia Eagles Youth Football Camps are available, starting at $245. Twelve camp locations are available.
