For the past decade, the Straughan's Air It Out Football Academy has offered high caliber instructional camps for youth quarterbacks and receivers. College coaches and players provide comprehensive, sophisticated, and affordable instruction to skilled players from the first to twelfth grade. We teach them how to improve their offensive skills, elevate their player performance, and compete at each level of the game. We take pride in helping kids to become great quarterbacks and receivers.
Nowadays, youth football teams are spreading the field and airing out the football more than ever. Coaches often lack the time to teach quarterbacks and receivers everything they need to know to play their positions. So to fill this void the AIOFA offers 1, 2, or 3 day camps designed to accommodate the needs of both players and coaches. The costs of camps are very reasonable and translate to $20 an hour per player for comprehensive and sophisticated instruction. We even encourage youth coaches to participate to help them to implement our training on their own teams.

The Straughan's Air It Out Football Academy teaches every aspect of playing the quarterback and receiver positions. Too many football camps charge high prices while providing little instruction and limited reps. We focus on not only teaching fundamental and advanced skills, but also on allowing players to put those skills into practice. AIOFA camps develop every phase of the game, including stance and exchange, handoffs, tosses, option, throwing mechanics, dropbacks, shotgun, play action, roll out, stance and release, catching techniques, press and release, blocking techniques, coverage recognition, running and passing to routes, coverage beaters, picking up blitzes, and many other things. We also focus on developing leadership attributes relating to commitment, discipline, confidence, courage, character, and teamwork within student-athletes. We teach how to do things the right way, why to do things the right way, and then repeatedly practice doing things the right way.
