Summer Camp 2026 — Johnston, RI
About the Academy
Position-specific coaching for every level of athlete
Since 2003, the RI Football Academy has provided youth athletes with a competitive, safe, and structured football experience. Our non-contact training model delivers proper instruction through coached drills with balanced coach-to-camper ratios — no wasted time, no standing around.
Campers select position bundles covering both offensive and defensive positions, developing well-rounded skills on both sides of the ball. Each session runs 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM at Johnston High School, with check-in beginning at 7:30 AM.
Whether your athlete is new to the sport or gearing up for varsity, RIFA delivers the instruction and intensity to help them take the next step.
