Are you ready for some football? Attention all young men ages 10-18 interested in America’s game!

Our tentative staff list includes former NFL players: All Pro Steelers: Jeff Hartings, and Jon Kolb, along with Leo Wisniewski and George Lilja. College coaches Mike Conway, Mike Sirianni (W & J) and Geno Demarco (Geneva) will be with us along with a great high school staff including Mike Bosnic (Wash. High), Ron Coder (Canon Mac), and Chris Saluga. There will be many current NFL players including Steve Breaston, Lusaka Polite, and Wes Lyons. Registration cost is only $25 and it includes four, two hour instructional workouts, lunch both days (Chick-fil-A), a FCA camp T-shirt, FCA Bible and some great memories.
