FLAG FOOTBALL PRE-SEASON CAMP

Players will be introduced to fundamentals such as proper ball exchange at the line of scrimmage, receiving skills and passing mechanics. These fundamentals will be reinforced through age-appropriate drills. Players will enjoy opportunities to execute plays with emphasis on fundamentals and route running. Lastly, players put these skills into action through scrimmage by age group.
