🏈 Jayhawk Youth Football Camp — 2025 Recap! 🏈
While the heat forced us to cancel Day 3, there’s no doubt about it our first two days of camp were a huge win for Vandy Youth Football!
💥 Camp kicked off strong with Bobby Willis from B Elite bringing the hype and energy!
🔥 Varsity Leadership in Action from our High School Jayhawks They gave mentorship, encouragement, and hands on coaching to elevate every station. Our younger kids look up to you and you delivered!
💨 Speed, Skills & Smiles at the drill stations to team games, the kids were dialed in and working hard. The highlight for many was the 40-yard dash competition!
👏 Big Thanks to Our Volunteers
We’re so grateful for the amazing parents and volunteers who helped things run smoothly: Gregory Fulks, Casey Butterfield, Skylar Rushlow, Ray Delarosa, Megan Stevens, and the many others who stepped in to help our Jayhawks grow.
👏 Another Round of applause to Coach Mitch Osman and Coach Dan Midena for keeping everything organized and rolling from start to finish.
📣 NEXT UP:
✔️ Tackle Combine – August 5 & 6
✔️ Flag and Tackle Practices Begin – Week of August 11
💪 Coaches will reach out with team details soon. If you haven’t signed up or taken care of payment, now is the time!
These two days were just the beginning of a great season!!
