Offseason training is always a good thing to do for any athlete. The conditioning you get from the training ensures you will perform at a high level during the season. Also, being in shape will also help you stay healthy and avoid injuries.
As the Pop Warner Football season starts to get close, a good thing to do is to sign up for a youth football camp. If you can find one especially for Pop Warner aged kids 7-15 that would be ideal. The price of the camp will depend on who is running the camp or who will show up. If professional players are there it will cost more than a camp run by a group of local Pop Warner coaches. I recommend one with less star power as it is distracting to the kids. However most pros will attend camps geared more toward high school kids.
These camps run before the start of the season. Most are run only on weekends over a month or so, or it might be a week long camp. These camps help you get a leg up on the season as you will show up football ready when the season starts.
These camps usually focus on conditioning like running and doing sprints, fundamentals such as proper stances and alignments, and doing football drills like using step over dummies and working on agility. There usually is no contact, because no one has football equipment. I say usually because some of the more high end camps may.
Finding a camp is pretty simple go to any Google search bar and search for youth football camps in your state. I would bet there is more than one to chose from.
I am part of a group of coaches that run a camp in Boston Mass. This will be our 4th year running the camp. For information about it Click Here
