COMMANDERS CAMP: Northwest dc

Commanders Camps are all about that ball! Whether you’re a first-time player or a long-time baller, you’ll find the same thing in this program: a place to play, a chance to improve, a week full of friendly competition. 

A program where the mission is always the same: Get Better. Have Fun. 

Run by Flag Star Football’s team of positive, high-energy coaches, campers will get tons of instruction and gameplay in a team-first, values-driven environment. We’re about schemes, we’re about skills, we’re about team and we’re about that work! 

Each day is divided between drills, stations and games (alongside water breaks, team meetings and white-board sessions). And each camp week will have a guest appearance by a Washington Commanders Legend!!

A Day in the Life…

Each day, we’ll put our group through their paces! After a group warm-up (a chance to warm up our bodies, as well as our hands) and a morning meeting (featuring our theme of the day), campers will start the day's curriculum with skill building and game-simulated concepts/competitions. This is the high-rep, high-growth part of our day.

After getting our "work" done in the morning, we get into our games. Each team will play two games a day, led by a designated coach to help practice/implement real concepts and defenses.

Players come to camp for football and they'll get plenty of it. They'll also get water-breaks, shade-breaks, film-sessions, guest-speakers and alternative games to keep spirits high, body-temps cool and our camp weeks positive, productive and value-driven.
