Grades 8-11DC football players have the opportunity to attend a team camp at Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota on Monday, July 27 and Tuesday, July 28. The camp is hosted by Saint John’s University and some SJU coaches will be providing instruction. In addition, many of our DC football coaches will be there to supervise and give instruction on DC specific schemes and techniques. During this camp we may also do a 7 on 7 practice with another local school. Players will be required to ride district provided school bus transportation to and from Saint John’s University. The camp cost includes lunch and supper on Monday as well as all three meals on Tuesday. Players will be padded during these practices and there will be contact. Players must abide by all SJU Campus rules and expectations set forth at camp. If they do not, they will be sent home, and parents will need to come and pick them up. In Coach Weinandt's 22 years of coaching at DC our players have always been well behaved and that expectation is that will continue at this camp. The cost for the camp is $130 and checks should be made out to Saint John’s University and will be turned in when we arrive at camp. It is best to turn in payment in advance to Community Education or Coach Weinandt.
