Football camp is a fun and interactive event where school age children (K-12th grade) who have Autism get to practice football drills, learn new skills, and have some fun with real football players on a real football field. At the end of the day participants are joined by their family members for lunch and an awards ceremony.
Join us in learning a variety of football skills such as passing, rushing, catching a ball, kicking a field goal, and tackling a large football pad (there is no contact between participants). Participants will spend 6 minutes at 10 different stations set up around the football field with volunteer football players assisting at each station. Participants will be placed into groups according to their age.
What makes this camp special is that we make a point of accommodating everyone’s unique sensory needs. We understand that not everyone wants to do all the drills and that is perfectly okay! The kids are allowed to take breaks as needed and are encouraged to do what they need to meet their sensory needs. A parent, guardian, or helper is welcome to join your child on the field.
