Contact Football Camps at Whittier College

Contact Football Camps announces that for the summer of 2008, it has moved its Southern California Contact Football Camp from the University of Redlands to Whittier College in Los Angeles, California.

San Rafael, CA - Entering its 31st summer in business, Contact Football Camps, LLC one of the largest FULL CONTACT Football Camps in the country announced today that it will host its 2008 Contact Football Camp in Southern California this summer the week of July 6-10 at Whittier College, Los Angeles, CA.

Named “Top Camp” in Sports Illustrated for Kids, Contact Football Camps are known worldwide and have been called the finest instructional football camps for football players ages 8-18 in the United States by coaches, Pros and the media.

The camp program features FULL CONTACT DRILLS AND SCRIMMAGES with a staff of major college coaches and NFL players. At Contact Camps, “contact” is introduced in a slow, gradual progression before any actual “contact” is initiated. Campers are divided according to age, weight and ability. The instruction (3 times a day) stresses both individual positions and team play with every camper. Thousands of previous Contact Football campers played, or are now playing college football (many at schools represented by our coaching staff).
