2011  Visiting Staff:

The Elite Football Clinic prides itself in having the best and most diverse visiting staff in all of New England.  Coaches from previous years and scheduled to visit in 2010 are coaches from:  Boston College, Columbia, Harvard, Bentley, Bates, Tufts

Why the NE Youth Football is the Best of Boston:

Staff: Our staff consists of the most successful high school coaches in the state of Massachusetts. These coaches are highly trained, dedicated professionals who teach and coach the game of football as well as anyone. They work at it!

The Beginner: Whether a young man has played football for years or has never played, we teach and coach every child to play football the fun and safe way. Our football clinic has been the catalyst of many fine football careers here in Massachusetts!

The Experienced Player: Many of our players have played Pop Warner or youth football. These players will add more advanced skills to their game and will be better prepared for the rigors of high school football.

Contact: We are a contact football clinic; helmets and shoulder pads. We feel the best way to teach a player is on the field, with equipment on. No worries, players are separated by age, size and experience to assure a safe environment for all players.        

Games: We are the only clinic to have 8 on 8 contact games that are played every day. They’re great to “show your stuff” and great to play with your school teammates.

Optional Items available to purchase on the first day of the clinic:

Champion Mesh Shorts       $25

Adidas Camp T Shirt            $15

Grade Level: Grades 2 through Grade 8  (grades are based on the grade the camper will be entering in Sept after the completion of the summer)
