frequently asked questions

My kid has never played before. Is this the right camp?

 Absolutely! We’ve had many players start their football careers at First Team Football Academy. Our coaching staff is experienced to adjust instruction based on each players skill set. 

My kid has been playing for years, is this camp too basic?

 No, absolutely not. We provide a high-level coaching staff that will increase any players  skill set and push them to improve. 

I’m not sure if my kid wants to play tackle football. Is this a good intro?

 Yes! Every year we have kids considering trying out for their local team. First Team Football is a great place to learn and develop to prepare for tryouts. Players will learn fundamentals, but also increase their cardiovascular stamina and agility, preparing them to shine in tryouts.  

I’m having trouble with the website, can I pay you directly?

 Yes! You can always Venmo @James-Greule or Apple Pay to 916.316.4704  

What do I need to participate?

 For the Non-Contact Camp all players are required to wear cleats and a mouthguard. FTFA also suggests wearing athletic shorts and a t-shirt.


For the Full-Contact Camp all players are required to wear cleats, mouthguard, shoulder pads, helmet, and football pants with pads.  

What is the age range of participants for your camp?

 Kids entering 2nd through 8th grade. 

How do I get the equipment for Full Contact?

 FTFA will coordinate rental equipment from a local organization & send out details approximately 2 weeks before camp. If you are unable to check out equipment on the date provided, we encourage you to get in contact with your local youth football organization and inquire about rental/loaners. You can always reach out to your local organization now to see if they will allow you to rent/borrow equipment for camp.


Additionally, you will need to provide your own padded football pants & jersey.

Can I get a refund?

 All campers are eligible for a refund 14 days prior to the first day of non-contact camp. We have to be strict about this policy due to the cost associated with running the camp. We appreciate your understanding. 

Its really hot, will you cancel?

 No, we will not cancel camp in the event of extreme temperatures. However, we will modify our activities to keep campers safe. Water will be afforded to players as needed, more frequent breaks, no helmets, less strenuous activity. 

Livermore is a big park. Where exactly is the camp?

Google Maps will find “Livermore Turf Soccer/Football/Lacrosse Field” or use the address 974 Carter Street, Folsom CA 95630 

Is this a Folsom football camp?

No! Every year we have players from multiple organizations participate. Unlike your local organization, this is a chance to work and develop under instruction from coaches who have coached and/or played college ball as well as learn from people who aren’t your dad. 😉   

What time does camp start?

Camp starts promptly at 5 PM each day. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to check-in and get yourself settled before the whistle blows. 

Do you offer private or group training?

 Yes. Please text Coach Greule at 916.316.4704 to inquire about details. 

What if I need to miss a day?

 It is fine to miss a day of camp, please do your best to communicate your absence before camp. You can always text Coach Greule at 916.316.4704.
