FAQs
How will this camp be different from the regular camps?
Our basic schedule remains the same, but our drills and teaching for the week will be focused on more advanced skills and knowledge of the game.
My child is older, but I’m worried his skills aren’t advanced enough for this camp - Is that ok?
Absolutely! The focus of this camp will be to develop kids to help them take their game to the next level, whether that’s high school football, or just older leagues in Flag Star but beginners and lower skilled players are always welcome. We will still teach from the ground up.
Will this camp still be fun?
That we can guarantee. We firmly believe football can be taught and coached at the highest level and the players can still have a blast. We will still be having games, trivia, and all the other classics we know and love at a Flag Star Camp.
Will the coaches be more qualified?
Yes! All of the coaches for the older kids camp will either have played college football or coached high school football. We won’t be hiring any high school kids for this week of camp.
What do you guys do for lunch?
For $60/week (or $12/day), we will provide daily meals of pizza, fruit snacks and drinks. Your child is welcome to bring a lunch as well! Be aware that a refrigerator/microwave on site is not guaranteed though.
