The camp is not designed for kids to get down on themselves if he or she is not keeping up with the other kids. It is based on positive reinforcement for each participant’s individual effort. The coaches pay close attention to each child and make sure they improve at their own level of ability. If your child is just beginning, the camp is ideal for them. They will learn exactly what a practice is like and what is expected of them on the football field.

We feel it is very important to challenge each child to raise their skill level and focus to a higher level. We make a special effort to ensure every participant gains valuable experience and knowledge from the coaching staff. We make sure the kids are matched up with others of the same talent level.

We organize the practice schedule so kids work with other kids their same age, size, talent and ability.

• The optimum teaching takes place when you have one coach for every 8-10 kids. 
• We always try to maintain those standards at the camp. Our initial staff is set up for 200 kids, but we have coaches lined up as the registration increases. 
• It really helps us with organization if the parents submit registration forms early.

We limit the amount of participants to as few as 150 and as many as 250. EARLY Registration is encouraged!

You are more than welcome to watch practices. As an added bonus, there is a walking path that surrounds the fields and also hiking trails close by in the park as well.

The camp is meant to be a working camp. We will do our best for every child to receive an autograph if our celebrity guest speaker will comply. Any additional autograph arrangements will be announced at the camp.

• Our athletic training staff will be on hand for all minor injuries and preventative care. 
• Medical clinics and a hospital are near the practice facilities, and a mobile phone is on-site for emergency situations.

• Coach Eric Kasperowicz is the owner/director. 
• Our goal when we line up a coaching staff is to present a wide range of expertise that allows a child to relate to different levels of success.
• Our staff features top local high school coaches who have a proven track record of wonderful teaching skills.
• We have top high school & college players involved who really relate to the kids.

• Our camps are non-contact. 
• We stress fundamentals, form and technique, with a focus on quality instruction for each and every kid in a fun atmosphere. 
• We not only hope to teach them skills to make them better athletes, we hope to stimulate their general interest in sports. This will include an emphasis on good work habits, self-discipline, motivation and self-confidence. 
• Our practices are intense, upbeat, and crisp in tempo. We want the kids to be aware that this is not playtime, but a place to further develop their athletic skills. 
• It is our sincere hope that what we present to the kids is taken to heart and applied to their game and their everyday life.
