Nike Contact Football Camps
Register for our Nike Contact Football Camp at Westminster University and receive elite-level training and a chance to make lifelong memories this coming summer. Next Athletes, operator of the Nike Sports Camps at Westminster, provides the perfect environment to learn from some of the best coaches in the country. The staff will ensure a positive and encouraging atmosphere each day as campers have a great time competing with each other. Each day, players will develop fundamentals and advanced skills, focusing on footwork, offensive and defensive skills, individual positions, team plays, and game situations.
CONTACT CAMP (OVERNIGHT & DAY PROGRAMS AVAILABLE)
The contact camp is a shoulder pads and helmets only program which fosters top-notch coaching for players of all positions. The camp focuses on offensive and defensive skills, individual positions, team plays, footwork, and game situations. The contact camp offers an overnight program where campers will also take part in fun (non-football) evening activities and educational seminars on college recruiting, sports psychology, and more. Local players may also sign up for our day camp program which runs 9:00am-4:00pm. The day camp includes training only and campers must bring a lunch. The camp has a wrap-up only policy to protect players from injury and is open players of all ability levels, ages 10-17.

The instruction stresses both individual positions and team play with every camper.
