Hello, my name is Julius Dinkins,  owner and Director of Football-4-Life Academy (F4L) and I would like to tell you a little about our football camp.  Football-4-Life is a non-profit youth football skills and development camp that’s open to all area youth’s all year.  F4L is not a football league but an all year football camp that specializes in training and developing young athletes specific skills related to football.  F4L knows there are no shortcuts to becoming the best player you can be, however; it takes lots of hard work and dedication.  A sound character is the basis for being the best player you can be; it assures a solid foundation.  Character is a person’s attitudes and behaviors, based on the individual’s values.  A person’s values reflect his views of reality.

Football-4-Life was started because as father of a son that plays youth football the 3 months and the coaching did not seem to be teaching my son the sound fundamentals that he needed to advance to the high school or college level.  I noticed that there was something missing;  the time that the coaches had as well as some of the coaches experience played a major factor.  I wanted to help more than criticize the coaches and the best way I could see was sending them players that already knew the  basics skills and techniques needed to give them a better chance at achieving their goals within their youth football organizations.  Teaching kids the proper techniques of football makes playing football much more safer and enjoyable on every level.

  
What Is Our Mission?
