Purpose:  The purpose of these camps are to teach football fundamental skills for each participant and encourage goal setting and "at home" participation of conditioning, flexibility and football drills.  Approximately 1/4th of each session will be a pickup flag football game with similar age kids.

Attendance:  Each player will be encouraged to attend ALL 8 Mini-Camps, if at all possible.  To encourage this participation, attendance awards will be given for perfect attendance.  In addition, any players that attend at least 5 of the 8 camps will have a portion of their camp fee go toward their 2008 WMCAA Tackle Football Season registration fee.

Cost:  The cost of the camp will be $40 per student.  This will include 8 mini-camps. In addition, anyone attending at least 5 of the 8 camps will be given a $20 credit toward the 2008 WMCAA Tackle Football Season.  (Cost will be prorated after the first two weeks.)

Location:  All camps are held at Douglas-Walker Park on 84th Street between Burlingame and Clyde Park in Byron Center.  See the link above for map.

  • Perfect Attendance (all 8 mini-camps)

  • Excellent Attendance (7 of 8 mini-camps)

  • Good Attendance (6 of 8 mini-camps)

Conditioning:  Summer Camp WILL NOT be conditioning.  Conditioning may be set as a goal or activity towards a goal but actual conditioning will not occur during the summer camps.

  • Stretching and minimal calisthenics (for the purpose of training)

  • Skills Drills (Kids will be separated by most applicable skill for them)
