About the NJ Touchdown Club

Football Co-Ed Fun and Fundamentals. No contact.

The goal of the Touchdown Club is to improve good players and make new players love and understand the sport. While many camps target strength and conditioning, we pride ourselves on teaching football skills to all levels.

The training that young athletes receive in these summer camps or personalized training prepares them for the season and helps them grow in their love of football.

It is never too late to join, although some parents are concerned that athletes may not understand the game or have the necessary skills to play football on a team. At the Touchdown Club, we pride ourselves on our coaching style - we teach and develop.

Program heads! Use us as a recruitment tool! Let’s put a clinic together! Those who sweat together, stay together! Keep your teams bonded and united. And it is a great way to recruit new talent in a fun atmosphere!

MIKE PERROTA is a media and communications professor in New York. He was a high school football captain in Nutley and covered various sports for over a decade at the Star-Ledger. He is currently the head coach of the junior-level program in Fair Lawn.

Materials:
Cleats are optional but not required, and receiver gloves are also optional. Bring a backpack and water. It's never a bad idea to have sunscreen.
