Our mission is to provide an opportunity for the players to participate in an organized and competitive sport of football, basketball and lacrosse. We will develop each player to engage at a competitive level. We believe in giving the players a firm foundation in the many individual and team skills required to be a strong player. We are collectively committed to developing the character and skills for players of all levels by teaching the rules of the sport, developing self-esteem, and teaching respect for fellow players, officials, and traditions of the game. We strive to create an environment that is safe, organized and fun.

We are excited to invite all kids K-8th to our inaugural football camp this summer!
Every Sunday morning (June 23rd through July 28th) from 9:30-11:00am at VHAC fields we will be having FUN, exercising, teaching the basics of football, playing games and encouraging good sportsmanship with a competitive attitude…all while enjoying the summer and making new friends!
Some of our great volunteer parent coaches, along with current high school players, will help guide and teach our kids football skills, the basics, the details, the “secrets” and help them learn the game.
Everyone is invited….past or present flag & tackle players, but also kids that just want to have some fun and maybe learn a little bit about football! Boys and girls…kindergarten through 8th grade…we will have activities for all!
Our objective is FUN first (it’s summer), SKILLS second, more FUN third….and we hope to lead into another great fall football season! Each week will be fun surprises and awards so bring your friends!
Register by June 3 and you will receive a camp t-shirt!
Register online: $25 for all 6 Sundays OR pay as you come for $5 per week.
