Jocks Camp 2025

Summer sun, the sound of cleats on grass, and the unmistakable energy of 130 young athletes learning, growing, and having the time of their lives—welcome to Jocks Camp, a 20-year tradition that continues to shape young football players in our community.

The magic of Jocks Camp lies in its perfect balance of serious athletic development and pure fun. Coaches beam with pride as they share stories of returning campers who've grown stronger and faster. "My favorite part about this is seeing all the kids' growth," explains one coach who's been volunteering for four years. "I saw a kid from two years ago here who got faster, who got better." With an incredible support system of 120 volunteers—including 35 dedicated coaches and 80 high school mentors—campers receive personalized attention that accelerates their development both as athletes and young people.

This year marks a significant transition as the camp continues without its founder, Lou Pacheco, but his vision remains firmly intact through new leadership from Sergeant Pacheco and School Resource Officer Jenny Lang. The camp's philosophy of inclusivity shines through Officer Lang's invitation: "It doesn't take a football player to be here... We have kids from different towns, all different ages, all different skill sets." This welcoming approach ensures every child feels valued, whether they're experienced players or first-timers curious about tackle football. From 40-yard dash competitions to plank-offs, the camp creates multiple opportunities for every child to discover and showcase their unique abilities.
