Letter to the Coaches

Attention 13U and 14U Coaches!!

The Delaware Ducks 13U Youth Football Team, in conjunction with the Delaware Department of Youth Services, Showtime Elite Championships LLC, and Delaware State University Football, will be hosting the Inaugural Substance Abuse Prevention and Wellness Mini Conference and Football Jamboree.

The event will be held Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14, 2022 on the campus of Delaware State University.

This event will focus on encouraging and informing young, student athletes on the importance of staying drug-free, living a healthy lifestyle, and prioritizing their education; all while competing in this great game of football.

The two-day event will start on Saturday, the 13^th, with a full day of short workshops presented by coaches and substance abuse and wellness professionals, a football Clinic hosted by the Delaware State University football staff, and an opportunity to watch the DSU football team in action during their inter-squad scrimmage! Join us for the afternoon barbecue to follow.

On Sunday, we will have a 14-team Jamboree, with a guaranteed minimum of 3 scrimmages per team. Each scrimmage will be timed and last 20 minutes.

The Mini Conference will be free and transportation will be provided for those who need it. The Jamboree however, will have a per team cost of $100. This event is a package deal, therefore teams can only participate in the Jamboree if they attend the Mini Conference.

Online registration is now open, until July 29, 2022. The Registration process is set up for coaches to register their entire team(s). A component for individual registration is included; however, there is a limited amount of slots.

Funding for this event will only allow a total of 400 student-athletes and coaches to participate.
