What should my child bring to camp?
Registration form, football, cleats and/or sneakers, bagged lunch, water bottle, sunblock, and the desire to enjoy a great, fun-filled week of expert instruction.
Can you explain what you do at camp?
We stress football fundamentals, conditioning, position drills, NFL style combine testing, punt pass and kick competition. In addition to football instruction, our lecture series also addresses the importance of education, teamwork, taking responsibility for one’s actions, proper nutrition, and the danger of alcohol and drugs.
How old does my child have to be to attend?
Our camp is for ages 7-15. Our campers cannot be entering higher than the 9th grade.
What are your methods of payment?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. We also accept cash, check, money order or cashier’s check made payable to Elite Football School. There is a $25 service charge for all returned checks, and full payment is due prior to the first day of camp.
What is your refund policy?
With the exception of an injury on the part of the camper, there will be no refunds. Fifty percent refunds will be granted within a one month time frame of the start of camp.
Are there multi-week or family discounts?
Yes, those discounts are listed on the registration page.
What happens with inclement weather?
Camp will continue outdoors as scheduled unless the weather does not allow us to do so. We will then proceed indoors to continue drills, discuss strategy and terminology and provide further instruction regarding character development.
What will my child receive at Elite Football School?
Four days of quality instruction in a constructive, yet fun environment
Lectures from a variety of college players and coaches and positive role models throughout the RI area
Elite Football School T-shirt
NFL style combine testing
Punt pass and kick competition
Awards presentation on the final day
Is there any contact at the camp?
We are a non-contact camp. Occasionally, while doing drills, there may be some unintended contact between campers; however, we pride ourselves in being a non-contact camp.
Will my 7 year old be able to compete with 15 year olds?
While all campers participate in the drills and competition, we make a sincere effort to organize the schedule so that campers will work with others of their same age, size, talent, and skill level.
Will the camp be challenging enough for my child?
We feel it is critical that each camper raise his individual knowledge and skill level. We pride ourselves in reaching every camper so that he is able to gain valuable knowledge and experience in a challenging, yet enjoyable environment.
Who actually runs the camp?
The camp is conducted primarily by high school football coaches, counselors who are college student/athletes, and a few high school athletes. The Elite Football School is owned and operated by Keith Croft. He has received a Bachelor of Science in physical education and health from Rhode Island College and a Masters in Educational Administration from Providence College. Keith is a public school teacher in Rhode Island. He has coached high school football for 11 years and is entering his second year as the Head Varsity Football Coach at Bishop Hendricken High School.
What is the coach to camper ratio?
We strive to have a minimum of one coach/counselor for every six to eight campers. It helps us to maintain the desired coaching ratio if registrations are entered in a timely fashion.
Can parents, grandparents or others watch camp?
Yes, you are welcome to observe, however, not on the field. You may watch from the stands, if you so desire.
Is medical staff available if my child is injured?
Training personnel will be on hand for minor injuries and preventive care. There will also be a licensed and board certified athletic trainer at the camp at all times. Emergency walk-in clinics are near the practice facilities, and mobile phones are on site for emergency situations.
