This camp is designed to introduce youth football players to Maquoketa Cardinals Football with an emphasis on developing complete football players. Athletes can expect to focus on the most transferable game skills: throwing, catching, route running, coverage, and open-field playmaking. Older athletes will build on that foundation with exposure to more physical aspects of the game including tackling, blocking, and block destruction. With a fast-paced and high-rep structure, athletes will learn the skills necessary to “Fly high on Friday nights under the lights!”.
