Highland Park Summer Football is designed with every level
of player in mind. Learning is the key here. All of the
basic techniques, fundamentals, and concepts are taught. All
levels from freshman to senior have practice at the same
time. This aids in the learning process by allowing the more
experienced players to help the young ones. This is a full
contact, padded camp. Playbooks are distributed to aide the
learning both during and after the summer session is over.
This is a great opportunity for any football player looking
to get a jumpstart on his football career.
All of the Highland Park High School football staff works
the summer session. Our staff has a wonderful mix of youth
and experience. The summer is a unique opportunity for the
younger football players to have the chance to work not only
with their own coaches, but also with the varsity staff.
