? What Makes Our Academy Special?

? Professional Coaching
Each week, players enjoy 1 hour of energetic, age-appropriate instruction filled with fun drills, football challenges, and small-team scrimmages—led by experienced and enthusiastic coaches.

? Skill Development for All Ages
From learning how to snap and catch to running routes, pulling flags, and building field awareness—we guide young athletes step-by-step as they grow their football skills and game sense.

? Mini Tournament + Parents vs. Kids Game
In early August, the academy wraps up with a playful mini tournament and our always-popular Parents vs. Kids flag football game!

? Character Building Beyond the Field
Each session features a “Value of the Week” to help athletes grow off the field—think “Teamwork Over Everything” and “Confidence in the Huddle.”

? Custom Academy Gear
All participants receive a personalized Academy jersey—choose your favorite number and (nick)name to make it your own!

? Skill-Based Grouping for the Best Experience
To ensure age-appropriate instruction and challenge:
• Younger (6 and below): Start at 12pm/noon 
• Older Players (7 and older): Begin later in the afternoon (exact times shared after registration closes)

Session lengths tailored to each age group:
• Ages 3–4: 45 min
• Ages 5–6: 55 min
• Ages 7–8: 1 hour
• Ages 9–14: 1 hour and 15 min

What you should bring:
• Football cleats are nice to have (help with not slipping on the grass), but not a must have
• Mouthgurard is a must have
• (jersey with name & number is included and will be provided)
• Water bottle
• Bring a football if you have one! We have more than enough balls to share, but it's even better to have your own
