Elite Football Academy Announces Summer Skills Camps

0 Votes
EFA_receiver
Elite Football Academy's Summer Skills Camp Series for all area youth and middle-school athletes will begin on June 6. Entering its 12th year of training, the mission of Elite Football Academy is still the same; to offer football players the very best training and developmental opportunities in the country.

Skills camps feature a low player-to-coach ratio and offer position specific training each day. All EFA camps are staffed by Elite Football Academy's expert position coaches, many of whom are current or former college and NFL players. While many of our coaches had impressive playing careers, the most important trait they all have in common is the ability to effectively teach the game of football.

At EFA skills camps, players are free to learn multiple positions throughout the camp. If the player already knows what position he wants to play or has a set position on a team, he can train at that position for the entirety of the camp. If the player is new to the game and isn't quite sure of what position they would like to play they can try a new position each day.

Elite Football Academy is unique because it offers a year-round program that trains youth through college-level football players. As a matter of fact, EFA has trained many Missouri Tiger Football Players including Blaine Gabbert since they were in middle school. Players that would like to learn more after camp is complete can continue their training in one of EFA's many programs. While there are multiple football camp options available in the Summer, EFA is the only one which allows players to follow-up with their coaches and continue their learning once the camp is complete.

EFA's Summer Camp Series will take place on the brand new, state-of-the-art turf field at Chaminade College Preparatory, 425 South Lindbergh, St Louis Mo., 63141.

EFA_LogoYouth Camps, for players entering first through fourth grade, is offered from 8-10 a.m., June 6-9 and July 11-14. Middle School Camps, for players entering fifth through eighth grade, is offered from 10:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. June 6-9 and July 11-14.

For more information and to register, visit the Elite Football Academy website or call 636-346-1371.
