St. Thomas Youth Football Camp is open to rising 3rd-8th grade boys and girls. We are looking to provide the best experience possible across all skill levels and for all interested in football. Our goal is to teach all three phases of football across the course of four days. This group will rotate through individual and group training, which will focus on progressively building on what they’ve learned the previous day. Your student-athlete will be taught the importance of teamwork, consideration of others, self-discipline, and how sports will be a factor in their journey for years to come. All staff will be in school compliance to ensure all necessary safety procedures are followed. We want all players to leave at the end of the week with a positive experience with football and an excitement to go into the next season as a better version of themselves.
