Whenever people who are passionate about the sport of American Football get together and have a good time, it is always clear that "Football is Family". For NFL professional and Stuttgart Surge co-owner Jakob Johnson, this family nature of the sport is especially evident when "big" and "little" come together to play football and the young can learn from the experienced. That's why the NFL pro decided to host another "Jakob Johnson Youth Camp 2024 powered by Stuttgart Surge". The camp will take place on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at the Festwiese Stadion in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt.

Providing fun and cohesion

More than almost any other sport, American football promotes goal orientation and self-confidence as well as teamwork and mental health, which are essential for young people. That is why the Stuttgart native is so passionate about the youth camps he has been organizing for the past few years. These camps give kids the chance to spend a day under the guidance of top coaches to showcase and develop their skills in various training sessions and competitions.

Another year, another great camp

In 2024, the NFL pro will once again host a youth camp in his hometown of Stuttgart, Germany. The camp will provide young football players between the ages of 11 and 18 with intensive coaching, mentoring, and an unforgettable day. He will be assisted by Stuttgart Surge head coach Jordan Neuman and his coaching staff, as he was during the highly successful 2023 camp.
