A letter to parents & coaches. Click to download.

Athletics offer an educational process in life itself that when seized and utilized properly with discipline, can help equip young people with the skills necessary to become strong and productive leaders in our society. We pair together young athletes with coaches who are professionals at the pinnacle of their respective fields in order to allow our campers a chance to truly learn and understand what it takes to achieve such levels of success. These lessons taught by professional athletes themselves can resonate with a young athlete for a lifetime.

We have partnered with the Capital District Minor Football Association which brings over 3000 kids spanning ages 8-18yrs old to play in their spring and summer leagues. The league services the greater Edmonton region, as well as the surrounding areas ranging from Lloydminster to Okotoks. Capital District is the largest tackle minor football league in Canada. We would like to establish ourselves as a developmental aid in enhancing the quality of football in this region. To enhance football at the youth level will in turn enhance the high school game. Which will contribute to better Junior Football, and in turn better Canadian collegiate ball on the whole – and ultimately will enhance the quality of non-import talent within the CFL game itself. The CFL has given a great deal to me over the years as a non-import player, and I feel that this is a way for me to give back to the league indirectly, while helping at the grassroots level directly.
Our instructors are committed to sharing with young athletes the perseverance, discipline and dedication needed to achieve ones maximum potential both on and off the field. While instructing and equipping them with the skills, tools, and techniques for them to be dominant on the field. Every athlete has an opportunity to hone and improve their skills, compete against the best of their age in the region, and receive tutelage from the pros themselves in areas of nutrition, physical strength and development, speed, agility and motivation.

In addition, we want to utilize the time we have with the kids through the motivation of some tremendous keynote speakers. Every year we will try and improve what the camp offers the children, both physically and psychologically. We hope that by the time the campers leave, they have a better feeling of self worth, in addition to the confidence that comes from the newly acquired techniques and skills – thus motivating them to become better athletes…and better people.

I know from experience that attending the right camp can be very valuable in a young person’s life. My goal is to provide young athletes with an opportunity to learn from the best in order to better understand the work ethic required to succeed – while at the same time enjoying themselves in a competitive atmosphere.

Sincerely,
