- Improved fundamental skills on both offense and defense
- Specific, individual, positional coaching & instruction
- A clear picture of their individual strengths and weaknesses, so they know exactly what to work on post-camp that will help elevate their game at the youth level or prepare them for the High School game.
- A written camper individual review of their performance, with a plan for them to implement over the fall to prep them for the 2024 season
