1st - 3rd Grade FREE Football Skills Camp

Free skills and conditioning camp for any 1st - 3rd Graders who would like to attend...

The camps are not mandatory, and there is no cost to attend.  They are free to all players who live within the Pleasant Grove High School boundaries.

The dates for the camps will be:

Tuesday, July 12th from 6-8 pm

Thursday, July 14th from 6-8 pm

Tuesday, July 19th - Equipment handout - NO CAMP

Thursday, July 21st from 6-8 pm

The location for each camp will be:  Field behind Mt. Mahogany Elementary School - 618 N. 1300 W. PG

Each boy must have a completed Liability Release Form filled out and signed by a parent or guardian.  (Please contact Coach Ellis at 801-928-4647 if you have not received an email with this form attached)  Anyone without a signed form will not be allowed to participate in any of the camp activities.  While the camp will be non-contact, there is still some risk of injury associated with the activities.

Because the camp will require the boys to run (a LOT) and move in football situations; they need to make sure to wear loose clothing that allows easy movement, adequate shoes for running (please, no metal cleats) and either water or gatorade so that they don't become dehydrated.  Each boy needs to bring his own water please.

Please let me know if you are planning to have your son attend any of the days we will be holding the camp so that I can make adequate preparations.
