Nike Football Skills Camp had an incredible summer in 2025 at De Smet Jesuit High School, and we’re thrilled to build on that momentum with an even stronger camp experience in 2026! After a successful year of growth and standout athlete development, Camp Director Nick Johnson invites young players—beginners to advanced—to elevate their game and leave camp better than ever.
Our dedicated coaching staff, energized by the achievements of 2025, is eager to guide athletes through a series of skill-building drills covering key offensive and defensive techniques. Each session features essential warm-ups, stretching routines, and position-specific drills designed to boost agility, precision, and strength.
Whether athletes are new to the sport or looking to refine their technique, this camp offers the perfect environment to grow. Participants will sharpen their skills, build confidence, develop new friendships, and enjoy a fun, competitive atmosphere—all with a coaching staff excited to make 2026 our best year yet.
