July 18, 2023: Our son was able to immerse himself with kids and coaches who were very motivational and shared the same passion for football. He always had great things to share about his day and he's already talking about attending the next camp. He loved the comraderie and how encouraging everyone was. Overall a very positive experience for him and us as parents.
