Camp Overview

The Avon Old Farms Football Camp is designed to improve each player’s fundamentals & techniques, understanding of the game, and competitive spirit in a fun, energetic inclusive environment. Each camper will be coached by current members (coaches and players) of the varsity football program. Our coaches will work closely with players to help them develop their skills while instilling an enthusiastic approach to working hard.

Players will have access to meticulously maintained fields and athletic facilities that are among the best in New England. The athletic tradition at Avon Old Farms is well established, and the football program is part of that great tradition. Avon has established a strong record of sending players to some of the top collegiate programs in the country. Graduates have joined football programs at Princeton University, Colgate University, Brown University, Columbia University, The University of Wisconsin, and many more.
