At Elite Sports Performance in Mentor, Ohio, we're launching an unbeatable one-day Youth Football Camp for grades 1-8 athletes. On Friday, November 28th, your child will build foundational skills, unleash their competitive spirit, and benchmark their athleticism in a fun, safe environment. Limited spots—register now and fuel that passion for the game!
Why This Camp? Building Champions from the Ground Up
Forget cookie-cutter training—our Black Friday Football Camp is crafted to match your young athlete's stage, whether they're just starting out or ready to specialize. We divide into three dynamic groups for age-appropriate, expert-led sessions that emphasize technique, safety, and excitement. As the only coach at Elite SP, I'll personally guide every drill to boost overall athleticism: speed, agility, strength, and injury prevention fundamentals that shine in any sport.
- Group 1: Little Legends (Grades 1-4, All Positions) – Perfect for our youngest stars! We'll focus on core fundamentals like proper technique, basic skills, and body control through engaging, game-like drills. No position silos here—it's all about building a love for football while introducing light competition and combine tests to spark confidence.
- Group 2: Skill Speedsters (Grades 5-8: Running Backs, Wide Receivers & Defensive Backs) – Sharpen speed, routes, and coverage for those highlight-reel plays.
- Group 3: Trench Warriors (Grades 5-8: Offensive/Defensive Linemen & Linebackers) – Power up the front line with leverage, blocking, and tackling drills to dominate the trenches.
Every group wraps with friendly competitions against local peers and NFL-inspired combine testing to celebrate progress—tailored to keep it achievable and motivating for all ages.
