Sports International Football Camp with Former Steeler Willie Parker - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Founded in 1983, we have the best teaching football programs in the nation having graduated over 110,000 athletes, many currently playing at the college level. This will be our 40th successful year of football instruction. If you are an experienced football player or just starting football, our football programs are an experience you will never forget!

You will return home to your team a better football player! Athletes learn from outstanding veteran college and high school coaches selected for their ability to coach and teach the game of football. At certain programs, the staff is complimented with current and former professional players and coaches who have a passion for sharing their knowledge with young athletes. From 2011-2022, we have had over 500 current and former professional players and coaches instruct at our programs. This is more than any other program in the nation!

Before the start of program, each of our instructors attend an orientation session ensuring they adhere to the values and high level of coaching that is expected from the Sports International coaches. We concentrate on the fundamentals of the game. With each practice, you will receive in-depth instruction, lectures, and demonstrations from an experienced, knowledgeable coaching staff.

At our programs, players get all the football they could want. Participants receive up to 6 hours of instruction each day. Participants are divided up into different age groups to ensure they receive the proper training. Each program is the right size to allow players to be matched up properly at their respective age level. This allows not only for a proper match up, but also for the participants to be challenged and provided with a better learning environment. Without the proper size group, players are not matched up correctly and they will experience frustration, failure, and loss of confidence.

Our coaching staff offers each player an enormous amount of encouragement with an enormous amount of enthusiasm. Our philosophy is to "let them have fun" while learning a lot of football! We promise each athlete will go home a better football player, but they will learn far more than just football at our programs. They are taught about teamwork, consideration of others, self-discipline, and how to attain their potential in sports and in life. Players also learn the importance of achieving good grades and selecting correct role models. We encourage them to go home a more positive, optimistic person.
