Hard to believe it is that time of the year already but the Boys of Fall are already back working. And the camp that produced many of the best Quarterbacks in the Northwest last season it back!
This Sunday Coach John Charles brings back his Air One Football Academy and in 2013 he is expecting bigger and better things. And all of you are invited to come and get to work!
This is a 4 Star Camp in the Pacific Northwest and known for smaller group sessions and top notch instructional work. All the kids will get more skill training and reps here then anywhere else in our experience.
“This year we enter a new era. The same great camps we have had but we have added some new positional coaches that the kids will get to learn from and they are going to love what we have in store. We are really excited to have a new facility to use out at Parkrose High School. We are working with some first time kids and some real future stars. The work is going down here and our focus is one to one attention with each kid to make them the best they can be,” said Charles.
Coach Charles is the one QB Coach in the entire Region who is a true All American. His Collegiate and High School records still stand and he has worked with some of the best QB’s in the Region as well as being a private QB Coach for players at some of the Premier High Schools in the West. This is a guy who is paid to fly and work with guys on the bubble of being future NFL players.
Right here in the Pacific Northwest we have a real gem. If your kid is a QB or an aspiring QB here is a Coach with a few loyal student athletes that he is molding into a premier group of gunslingers.
Think of other camps and many times you will see anywhere from 30 to upwards of 100 QB’s out there. And if your a High School guy you better make sure your Coach is there for you when the Coaches call. We saw Charles put his entire weight behind a few QB’s last season and he was there for them no matter what they needed. That was refreshing.
If your a Wide Receiver, Defensive Back, Tight End, or Running Back get out to Camp as well. You will be Coached by some of the very best. That will include Collegiate and NFL guys including these gentlemen who many of you will recognize.
