The 495 Spring Camp Team:

 

The 495 Spring Camp Team is open to players of all abilities from 7 to 15 years old. It is a 7 week developmental program that emphasizes development, conditioning, and position specific training. The top youth, high school, college, and professional football programs across the country run fully padded programs in the spring. Long Island Elite encourages multi-sport athletes at the younger ages, and does not endorse heavy-hitting year round, however a full-contact season has been a part of great programs forever and is essential to excellence.

Coaches, players, and their families who join Long Island Elite share the same mission and values when it comes to football. They overwhelmingly choose football as their favorite sport, and they manage their time and schedule accordingly. Long Island Elite has provided the top football instruction and education to the most dedicated football players and their families for over 14 years.

 

The Spring Camp Team runs from March to May. Practice is twice a week with position specific clinics held on certain designated Saturdays and the season culiminates with two scrimmages. 

 

The emphasis in this program is the practice and instruction, not games. Whatever your ability is; if you are looking to work alongside the top players in Long Island from our Elite National teams, and get coached by the Elite National Team Coaches and other top position coaches from the area that have college and NFL experience, this is the place for you! Do not sign up for this program if you are someone that obsesses about “starting” or “playing time” in scrimmages.

 

This 7 week bootcamp-style program is all about hard work and development to help players become the best they can be! As part of our Spring Camp Season, players and their families as young as 7 years old will receive education on high school preparation, college recruiting, and NIL.

 

We are not a “recreation” football team. We are a comprehensive program that believes not only in skill development but in educating players on everything necessary to play at the highest level of high school and college football. We cover topics that most local coaches are not experienced in and not talking about. We supply unfiltered facts to aid players and families in making their own personal decisions in their football journey.

 

Our youngest players and their families have more knowledge about the recruiting journey than most kids entering high school and college! The majority of players entering high school and college today are clueless when it comes to the nuances and the process that happens with Division 1, 2, and 3. They think recruiters will simply come and find them if they are good, and that their coaches are going to do everything for them, only to find out later that is not always the case.

 

The cost for the Spring Camp season is $350.00. Registration includes the opening day combine, top coaching, all practices and scrimmages, the kickoff jamboree, a chance to be considered for The Long Island Elite National Team, and recruiting and NIL meetings. Players will receive a combine t-shirt and jersey. Players must provide their own black practice pants, a helmet and shoulderpads. Other items needed are cleats, a mouthpiece, and safety cup.

Long Island Elite Football accommodates dozens of less fortunate children in the community through it’s need-based scholarship program allowing them to participate in a first-class program that produces the best high school and college players. No child in the history of the program has ever been turned away for financial reasons.

We offer several need-based scholarships every year through our hardship application.
In 15 years we have never turned a player away for financial reasons.
