Youth Football

---

A football camp in the City of Poughkeepsie that does more than teach kids about the game.  The two-week program, with the support of the city government, gives kids an alternative to being on the streets. 

The program is geared toward teaching children sportsmanship, respect, and teamwork; learning the game of football is secondary to those initiatives. Our FREE camp has teamed up with City of Poughkeepsie Superintendent of Parks and Recreation, Brian Laffin, City of Poughkeepsie School District, Mayor Rob Rolison, Councilwoman Lorraine Johnson, Detective Karen Zirbel of the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department,  The Police Athletic League (PAL), Greg Charter President of City of Poughkeepsie Youth Football League and some many others.

Training sessions feature conditioning workouts, common football agility and footwork drills, and instructions on the fundamentals including ball-security, passing and route-running. The campers are supervised by about a dozen coaches and staffers, including Allyson Braxton, a nurse who keeps a watchful eye during the physical activities.
