The Eitzmann & Friends Football Camp is a place where friends old and new gather for a fun day of football skill development. No pressure, no recruiting, no stress. Our goal is to provide a positive and influential experience to jumpstart their football journey.

We have lined up an iconic facility and a strong group of coaches (and close friends of Chris) to help all attendees deepen their love of the game and improve the skills needed to play at any level. Every Coach at our camp played in college, and some even went onto the NFL — just like Chris.

We recognize that the cost of participating in youth sports is extremely high, so as a non-profit venture the low cost of our camp is designed to be affordable for everyone.
