Our program

Puget Sound Football Academy is an off-season training program designed to teach grade school, middle school, junior high, and high school athletes the fundamentals of the game in a fun and competitive atmosphere. Our coaches will cover speed and agility, footwork, hip movement, position specific drills, and the essentials for all offensive and defensive positions. Research has shown cross training, muscle confusion, and functional training are the best ways for young athletes to safely improve their athleticism. For this reason, each session will include position specific football instruction as well as speed, strength, and agility training. Private sessions will be offered and will address the individual goals you want to accomplish.

We are so excited to offer our Pre-Season Conditioning Camp throughout the Summer. We will be offering twice weekly, 1.5 hrs workout sessions, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Participants will work on strength/conditioning, tackling technique, speed/agility training, bag work, and position specific skill development. The boys will condition together and then be split into groups based on their positions to work on technique and specific position drills. This camp will run from the beginning of May through the end of July. Payment plans and multiple registration options are available for this camp.

Is your child currently playing another sport? Going on vacation during the summer months? Our PRACTICE PACKS give your family the flexibility to pick and choose the training sessions that fit into your schedule without the commitment. 4 PACK, 8 PACK, and 12 PACK options available for purchase.

***All classes will be held on the turf football field at Sehmel Park, rain or shine. We feel practicing outside seems to be the safest way for kids to socialize and train due to the pandemic.***

CONDITIONING PROGRAM SCHED

Because of these unprecedented times, we will be following strict Covid guidelines for youth sports for phase 2 as outlined by the state of WA. Things we are doing to ensure we are limiting risks to our players:

1. We will be taking temperature checks before every practice. If a child or family member is not feeling well, we ask, beg, and plead that you do not come to practice to possibly infect others.

2. Parents will not be able to congregate on the field for conditioning or for battle days. There will be opportunity to view our sessions but from a safe distance while keeping at least 6 ft apart from one another. 

3. We will have the players in groups moving through the circuits or doing individual work. When the players are within 6 feet of each, masks need to be pulled up over their nose and mouth. We will educate them on wearing masks or gators.  

4. All equipment will be sanitized after practice sessions are complete.

5. Football gloves, mouth guards, and gator masks will be required to participate. 

WE WILL NEED EVERYONE’S HELP TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE.  

My name is Jason Geldermann. I played youth football, high school football for De La Salle High School in Concord, CA, and college football at UC Davis. I have coached high school football and multiple youth football teams for the past 5 years. I consult with local and nationally top ranked high school football coaches to ensure I have a pulse on what high school programs are looking for from their athletes. I saw a need for quality instruction and development for youth football players in the Gig Harbor and Tacoma area. Proper technique, repetition, and discipline are the hallmarks of our program that will ensure kids will develop the skills high school coaches look for.
