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 5 year old compete with 14 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 the same age, size, talent, and skill level.

Will the camp be challenging enough for my child?
We feel it is critical that each camper increase 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 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. Keith received a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and Health from Rhode Island College and a Masters in Educational Administration from Providence College. He is a public school teacher in Rhode Island. Keith has coached high school football for 12 years and is entering his fourth 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 seven to nine 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.
