Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Message the group through pyfa215.org to ask when registration opens for the next season, since its 2026 spring sign-up windows closed by March 20, 2026..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The summer camp runs on weekdays from 9 am to 3 pm with football drills, academic enrichment, mentoring, and meals that come with nutrition information. The camp page still shows 2024 dates, so ask about this year's camp before you plan around it.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The programs are named publicly, but the site gives no sign-up steps, fees, or current dates, so the way in is unclear..
