lyons township summer football camp
Please see below for information on LT's Summer Football Camp:
Grades 5-8
Dates: July 13-17
Time: 11:30 am-1:00 pm
Where: LT South Campus
Cost: $100
When registering- "Football II"
All campers will receive an LT football shirt, an Under Armour fitted hat, and for the first time, LT Football ESD shorts.
Please click on the link below to register:
The camp will teach the campers a variety of skills and techniques for the different positions of football. We will also teach them some basic offensive and defensive schemes. At the end of each day, players will compete in two hand touch football games, which the campers really enjoy. During the week, campers will also compete against their grade level campers in a pass, punt, 40 yard dash, and a pro agility competition. THIS IS A NON-TACKLE CAMP AND NO PADS WILL BE WORN DURING THIS CAMP.
The campers will hear from our coaches and high school players about their journey and specific attributes that will help them be successful on the field, in the classroom, and in life. We will talk about leadership, hard work, discipline, consistency, commitment, team work, humility, attitude, overcoming adversity, and sportsmanship. Last year, we were honored to have former Chicago Blackhawk and Stanley Cup Champion, Brian Campbell, speak to our campers. We're looking forward to having another guest speaker speak to our campers this summer.
