With just three weeks left until kickoff, Power & Pride Strength & Speed Camp is entering its final enrollment phase for local athletes entering grades 6–8 this fall.

The camp, which runs July 7–25, focuses on building strong, confident athletes through a movement-first training approach led by certified coaches and licensed educators.

“This isn’t just another sports camp,” said Coach Rose, founder of Power & Pride. “It’s a developmental training experience designed specifically for middle schoolers who are ready to move better, get stronger, and train the right way — before high school begins.”
