Q: What if my child is an average athlete or is just beginning football?
A: The KJ Clinic is based on positive reinforcement for each participant's individual effort. The coaches pay close attention to them and make sure that they improve at their own level of ability. If your child is just beginning, the clinic is ideal for them. They will learn exactly what a practice is like and what is expected of them on the football field.

Q: Is the KJ Fundamental Football Clinic advanced enough for my child?
A: We feel that it is very important to challenge each child with raising their skill level and focus to a higher level. We make a special effort to ensure every participant gains some valuable experience and knowledge from the coaching staff. We make sure the kids are matched up with others of the same talent level.

Q: What if my child cannot attend all five days?
A: We will charge you on a pro-rated basis for the number of day(s) attended. Just give us a call to make arrangements. Call 502-417-6694.

Q: Will my 7 year old have to go against the older kids?
A: We organize the practice schedule so kids work with other kids their same age, size, talent, and ability.

Q: What is the coach to participant ratio?
A: The optimum teaching takes place when you have one coach for every 10 kids. We always try to maintain those standards at the clinic. Our initial staff is set up for 30 kids, but we have coaches lined up as the registration increases. It really helps us with organization if the parent's have their registration forms in early.

Q: What is the maximum number of kids that you let in the clinic?
A: Each clinic that we run is different. Depending on the location and availability of coaches, we limit the amount of participants to as low as 20 and as high as 100. EARLY Registration is encouraged!

Q: Who actually runs the clinic?
A: Coach KJ, 502-417-6694

Q: Who are the coaches?
A: Our goal when we line up a coaching staff is to present a wide range of expertise that allows a child to relate to different levels of success. The pro athlete(s) really make it fun for the kids, but the celebrity players involved in the clinic are only a small part of why our clinics are so successful. Our staff features top local high school coaches who have a proven track record of wonderful teaching skills. Also, we have top college players involved in addition to local high school star players who really relate to the kids. See the Staff page for more information.

Q: Are the celebrity athlete(s) really there and helping coach?
A: Yes! The athletes are not only scheduled to be there, but they take an active role in the practice. There is always a chance of an emergency situation that does not allow for the celebrity athletes to make all the days of practice. All celebrity athletes sign an agreement that clearly states their involvement and commitment with the clinic. We are very lucky in that most of the celebrities involved in the clinics are there because they care and they want to be there. They are involved with all phases of the practice schedule and do a terrific job working with the kids. It is either their hometown, college town, so they have a great sense of contributing to the community. If an emergency arises that forces them to miss a practice, the athletes help find replacement athletes who the kids would enjoy working with.

Q: Can you explain what you do during the clinic?
A: Our clinics are Non-Contact. We stress fundamentals, form and technique with our focus on quality instruction for each and every kid in a fun atmosphere. We not only hope to teach them skills to make them better athletes, we hope to stimulate their general interest in sports. This will include an emphasis on good work habits, self-discipline, motivation and self-confidence. Our practices are intense, upbeat, and crisp in tempo. We want the kids to be aware that this is not playtime, but a place to further develop their athletic skills. It is our sincere hope that what we present to the kids is taken to heart and applied to their game and their everyday life.
