It was challenging drills, Super Bowl Friday thrills, Chicago Bears Heroes and lots of fun this week at Naperville’s All Saints Catholic Academy.

It happened as Chicago Bears Youth Football Camps brought their brand of non-contact football instruction for kids ages 6 to 14 years old to Naperville. Both kids and parents were very pleased with the instruction and fun.

Using a non-contact structure to build skills, the Chicago Bears Youth Camp was led by Al Rood and professional coaches. They were joined Chicago Bears Alumni Heroes Allan Ellis, Mickey Pruitt and Macey Brooks. These former Bears players are there to teach the fundamentals of the game, share motivational stories and of course, sign autographs.

Chicago Bears Youth Football Camps deliver safe non-contact instruction for kids ages 6 to 14. With both a comprehensive skills and an accelerated skills program, the camps are a great fit for experienced players, cross training athletes and newcomers to the game. The goal is to improve the campers' technique, skill, confidence and of course have a great time doing it.

The daily schedule included station-based skills training and daily scrimmages that lead up to Super Bowl Friday and Camper Recognition—a great culmination to a vigorous week. Indoor curriculum included such topics as leadership, hydration, nutrition and Chicago Bears history. With a non-contact structure and certified health directors on site, parents are put at ease knowing their kids will have a safe and fun week of quality football.
