Our day camps aim to teach the fundamentals of the game. This is an outstanding chance for young men who desire to play football to learn the game from the excellent coaches at St. Pius X. 


The Lion Camp (rising 1st-5th graders) will focus on teaching the basic tools that it takes to be a good football player.
