ABOUT COMMANDERS CAMPS
The Washington Commanders and Flag Star Football stand for the same thing: Football Greatness in the DMV.
‘Greatness’ looks different at every level, but there are common threads throughout: focus, effort, teamwork and fun. An eagerness to improve, a readiness to be part of a team.
We incorporate all of those values in our programs. And whether it’s a Commanders Legend talking to our groups or a Flag Star coach leading our drills, we’re looking to teach ‘Greatness’ in everything we do.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs
What makes this a “Commanders” Camp?
The Commanders fingerprints are all over this program and we are proud to partner with Flag Star to expand access to football to more kids in the DMV. In addition to a Commanders ‘Fan Pack’ and Commanders’ game-film, each program will have a guest appearance by a Washington Commanders Legend.
Camp logistics and registration are run by Flag Star Football and their team of coaches, although Flag Star and The Commanders collaborate closely to ensure this is the best program the DMV has to offer!
WHO IS ‘FLAG STAR FOOTBALL’ AND WHAT IS THEIR ROLE?
Flag Star Football is our operating partner for all Commanders Camps. They’re local, they’re experienced and they’re die-hard Commanders fans!
For 11 years now, Flag Star has been the leading youth flag provider in the DMV. They run year-round programming (Fall/Winter/Spring leagues throughout the DMV) and have an unbelievable group of coaches. Their programming north-star focuses on helping kids get better and have fun.
If you have any questions during this process (registration, logistics, etc), you can reach them by e-mail (HQ@flagstarfootball.com) or phone (571) 475-9715.
This is a “Pro” Team’s camp. Does my kid need to be a pro?
Absolutely not. Our camps are designed for every kid, of every skill level to get better and have fun.
Vince Lombardi started every season by holding up a football and saying, “this is a football.” In every one of our programs, while teaching high-level skills and schemes, our coaches will start from square one in their teaching.
Is Financial Aid available?
Yes!! And you can apply for that here.
Financial Aid applications are vetted individually (and quickly) through the Flag Star Football Foundation, but the general rule is if you’re eligible for free and reduced lunch … you’ll be eligible for financial aid.
Are these co-ed programs?
Yes, these camps are co-ed. While the majority of our camps skew towards male enrollment, we want to actively encourage our female athletes to join! If you’re looking for a Girls-Only Camp, you can find more information for that here
