Kids Flag Football Boot Camp in Bahamas: Skill-Building, Olympic Insights & International Growth
✨ Coach, Parents & Player Tips
Coach’s Clipboard: Mix in a simple jet-sweep fake: send your slot in motion as if to take the handoff, then feed the ball to the backside runner—watch defenders look like they’ve been stood up at the altar and enjoy the open lane that follows.
Postgame Parents: I know you’re juggling carpool chaos, so once a week help your kid send a teammate a goofy GIF plus a one-liner about what they loved in practice—those bite-sized shout-outs build trust, spark smiles, and turn your phone into a positivity machine that fuels a true team culture.
Players Snap: When doubt tap-dances in your head, pop on some mental earplugs and attack the next snap like it’s your morning alarm—loud, relentless, and impossible to ignore.

More than 100 young athletes gathered at Old Thomas A Robinson Stadium for a Youth Football Boot Camp led by former University of Miami and NFL stars, organized by the Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation and the Bahamas Youth Football League. The intensive session featured skill-building drills and Olympic‐bound flag football insights, underscoring the sport’s growing development pathway in The Bahamas.
“Just here enjoying myself, really having fun out here with the kids, just teaching them a little bit about football, the way that we learned it, and watching them, the athleticism and raw talent is an amazing thing. I can’t wait to see what Bahamas brings to the table at the Olympics and stuff going forward.”
