Christmas Break Football Camp: Kick Cabin Fever to the Curb & Level Up Before Next Season! Parents, while everyone else is stuck inside eating leftovers and fighting over the remote, give your young athlete a full day of turf, drills, competition, and measurable wins! Elite Sports Performance in Mentor, Ohio is hosting an action-packed ONE-DAY Youth Football Camp on Tuesday, December 23rd for grades 1–8. Get them off the couch, burn off that holiday energy, and come back stronger, faster, and more confident for spring/summer ball. Spots are limited — grab yours before they’re gone!

Why This Camp? Shake Off the Rust & Build Champions. No lazy winter break here. We split into three focused groups so every athlete gets exactly what they need — fundamentals for the young ones, position-specific work for the older kids, and real competition for everyone.

1. Group 1: Little Legends (Grades 1–4, All Positions) 60 minutes of pure fun + fundamentals. Proper technique, body control, basic skills, and game-like drills that make them fall even more in love with football.
2. Group 2: Skill Speedsters (Grades 5–8: RBs, WRs, DBs) 90 minutes of route-running, agility, coverage work, and explosive speed drills — everything they need to create separation and make plays.
3. Group 3: Trench Warriors (Grades 5–8: OL, DL, LBs) 90 minutes of hand combat, leverage, blocking, and tackling technique. We build the big boys who control the line of scrimmage.

Camp Highlights

1. Position & age-specific skill training (proper form = fewer injuries, bigger gains)
2. Live scrimmages & challenges against local peers
3. Perfect timing — get sharper right before spring evaluations and summer 7-on-7 season

Touchdown Tykes is a fun, high-energy football fundamentals program designed specifically for children aged 4-6 years old. Our focus is on providing a safe, positive, and non-contact environment where young athletes can learn the essential building blocks of the game.

PROGRAM FOCUS:

1. Motor Skills & Agility: Activities centered around football-specific movement, changing direction, and coordination.
2. The Big 4 Fundamentals: Introduction to the proper techniques for throwing, catching, running the ball as well as proper defensive positioning and technique.
3. Basic Football Concepts: Simple understanding of position (offense vs. defense), field layout (end zones), and team play (huddling and listening to a coach).
4. Safety & Fun: All drills are non-contact (flag-based) and designed to build confidence, encourage teamwork, and instill a genuine love for the game.

The program aims to develop more than just football skills; we strive to foster social skills, listening abilities, and a positive attitude in every "Tyke" as they explore the excitement of the gridiron!
