In 2025 Rising Stars Football Academy created the First and Only residential Girls Flag Football Camp in the country!

For the past 18 years RSFA has provided the best football camps and combines for student-athletes in the country. RSFA is the only football camp in the country that focuses on excellence on the field, but more importantly excellence in the classroom.

RSFA has 2 practices a day, workouts in the afternoon, and student-athlete development at night. This gives our participants the full experience as to what it is like to be a student-athlete at the collegiate level. Our student-athletes work hard on the field at practice everyday to take their skill set to the next level, and compete against some of the best competition.

Our student-athletes work hard in the classroom during our student-athlete development workshops. During our student-athlete development workshops, our participants engage and focus on our 5 main Pillars: Academic Excellence, Leadership, Life-Social Skills, Mental/ Physical/ Emotional Health, Mental Toughness, Financial Literacy, and more to help them with their overall development.

These pillars help our student-athletes become leaders in the classroom, the community, and on the field. This also prepares our student-athletes for their future success in school, at the collegiate levels, and for their future careers. We bring in guest speakers, professionals, partners, and sponsors within our 5 Pillars to educate our student-athletes, coaches, and parents. We also bring in current and former NFL Players and Collegiate Coaches to share their stories of overcoming obstacles, and what it takes to become successful in their careers.

RSFA helps bring girls flag football to the forefront:

Rising Stars Football Academy helped produce the very First Girls Flag Football All-Star Game in the country along with the Big 33, the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, and the Washington Commanders last spring! Recently girls flag football became an official sanctioned sport by the PIAA.

RSFA is committed to continue to grow the game of football and girls flag football on a regional, national, and world wide level, and to provide student-athlete development as we do with all of our student-athletes. We are committed to bringing the best football camps and combines for female student-athletes and help with their overall development on the field, in the classroom, and the community. Be a part of history and register for the ONLY girls flag football camp in the country!

We worked hard to develop our camp specifically for female student-athletes to help develop their skills on the field and to help prepare them for their overall development in the classroom, the community, and on the field. Our goal is to help prepare our student-athletes to become successful in all facets of life and to help prepare them for their future careers.

For our first Girls Flag Football Camp, we had participants who traveled from all across the country and as far away as Hawaii, Florida, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Boston, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia, DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Our participants traveled from all over but throughout the week we preached that during camp we were one family.

Every camper had a common goal during the week to work hard to advance their game on the field, display leadership on and off the field, and to lift everyone up around them when the days got tough.

During camp our participants made new friends, learned valuable skills, and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Each day our student-athletes had the opportunity to experience what a full collegiate student-athlete schedule is like. Our participants started their day at 6:30 and did not end until 10:00 pm at night.

The girls pushed through the heat and worked hard on the field at all practices and workouts, with 2 practices a day, afternoon workouts, and our student-athlete development workshops at night.

During our student-athlete development workshops our participants engaged in panel discussions, and were able to connect with experts in leadership, life skills, social skills, physical/ mental health/ emotional health, and financial literacy.

Our goal continues to have interactive workshops and panels to give our participants the opportunity to share their thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on a number of topics to help them with their overall development.

Our participants used the power of their voices to be heard, and to connect with the guest speakers, panelists, coaches, staff, and all participants.

We are excited for Year #2 of the Rising Stars Football Academy Girls Flag Football Camp June 24-28 2026!
