The Guilford Parks and Rec Department is conducting a Youth Football Camp and a Strength & Conditioning Camp, and all GYF players are encouraged to attend! You may sign up in person at the Guilford Community Center or online at their website: www.guilfordparkrec.com. Strength & Conditioning Camp: July 6 – August 14 = 24 sessions, 48 hours of personal training!  The cost is $200 but this breaks down to only $4 per hour of instruction – compare that to these other programs! Guilford Summer School / Enrichment classes - $175 for 25 hours - $7.00 / hour [math courses are $7.50 / hr.] Soccer Clinic - $90 for 15 hours - $6.00 / hour [Park & Rec.] Lacrosse Clinic - $100 for 15 hours - $6.50 / hour [P & R ] Basketball Camp - $90 for 15 hours - $6.00 / hour [P & R] Baseball Clinic - $115 for 15 hours - $7.50 / hour [Little League] Youth Football Clinic - $40 for 8 hours - $5.00 / hour [P & R] Summer Strength & Conditioning - $200 for 48 hours - $4.00 / hour [P & R] The camp meets on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays from 9 to 11 am on Guilford’s beautiful turf field and it’s new weight room! Coach Unger, Coach Esteban, Mike Eldridge (our trainer at GHS) and high school/college athletes teach fundamentals of weight lifting and techniques to make you a faster and more explosive athlete.  We test the athletes the first 2 days and we show them how much progress they make as we retest during the summer.  It is a great opportunity for parents to take advantage.  As a young athlete I was fortunate to receive some solid weight lifting advice and as I have gotten older I have received certification from the Bigger, Stronger, Faster program to build on my knowledge.  This is a great chance for us to give instruction specific to sports that your child won’t get at a Planet Fitness or other unsupervised facility. It’s not the end of the world if you miss a day for family activities!

We are inviting all players who are entering the high school to sign up for this camp as well.  They will have a chance to meet their freshmen coaches and get a head start on learning the drills, formations and some plays that they will run at the high school!
