Flagstaff, AZ Football Camp

2025 Summer Camp Format

Offense-Defense will operate the 2025 Camp season in the following camp format which is a significant change from prior years.  We have redesigned our format to meet the changing needs of athletes transitioning through the many levels of a football program, and the changing football environment as a whole.

The camps offered in 2025 will be a 1-day Showcase Camp, a 1-day Flag Training Camp, and a 4-day Fundamental Development Camp.

Showcase Camp

The Showcase Camp is designed for athletes aiming to obtain exposure and acquire all the accolades and name recognition that their play warrants. Exposure is our goal, but exposure is the last trait on a long list of traits that will lead an athlete to success. We work on getting you there, noting the fact that “exposure” at the wrong time could be a disaster if you’re NOT READY to be exposed. In addition to gaining exposure, athletes will be provided life skills that are required of every participant at the next level. The recruiting process is extremely important!!! Don’t leave success in the hands of someone else or to an app that promises the world! It’s a personal process that takes a lot of time, dedication and research to succeed and Offense-Defense will be right there with you every step of the way.  There are numerous awards available to athletes attending this camp that assure an awareness of both college coaches and media personnel alike.
