A. With all the different youth football camps around the Kansas City area each year... it is hard for parents to decide which camp is beneficial for their child. What makes the Kansas City Youth Football Camp different than your typical "HIGH SCHOOL" camp is that the Kansas City Youth Football Camp is ran by YOUTH football coaches who have a vested interest in training and preparing young players for the upcoming season.

We offer campers the opportunity to learn from high school coaches but 90% of the drills and stations are being ran by local youth football coaches most with a minimum of 5 years of coaching experience. This approach has given us great reviews and seeing that 2023 is our 22nd year of the camp, our success speaks for itself.
