Nike Football Camp and Coach Keon Raymond of Big Time Players are back with another season of Friday Night Tykes, which is an exciting 7-week football development program designed for young athletes ages 4–10 to learn, develop, and compete in a fun, energetic, and positive environment. Every Friday night, athletes will build their skills through age-appropriate training focused on speed and agility, throwing, catching, footwork, route running, defensive movement, coordination, and football IQ through fun games.

What sets Friday Night Tykes apart is our focus on developing the whole athlete. Players will build confidence, teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, and a love for the game while learning proper football fundamentals. Whether your child is picking up a football for the first time or already has playing experience, our coaches will meet them at their skill level and challenge them to improve through high-energy stations, competitions, and game-like activities.

Friday Night Tykes is scheduled on Fridays from October 9 - November 20 (7 weeks) and will run from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
