JAGUARS PREP
Jaguars PREP is designed to teach kids the
fundamentals of football using the NFL’s top
resources. The goal of the Jaguars PREP
programs is to educate youth on the “Way to
Play” and the basics of football with a strong
emphasis on character development, health,
safety and fun. Jaguars PREP includes all
youth football programming hosted by the
Jacksonville Jaguars throughout the year
such as summer camps, Nike 11-On, girls flag
football jamboree and the Whataburger High
School Coach of the Week.
JUNIOR TRAINING CAMP
The Jaguars Foundation and Fuel Up to
Play 60 are on the road weekly hosting free
interactive youth camps at local elementary
and middle schools. In the last year alone,
50 in-school camps were held, and we look
to expand our reach in 2020.
11-ON
In partnership with Nike and Whataburger,
the Jaguars Foundation rolled out the first
annual Jaguars 11-On Team Challenge in
2019. This two-day event welcomed high
school athletes from 16 northeast Florida
high schools. It combines individual and team
skills competitions, a 7-on-7 tournament,
linemen challenges and character develop-
ment programming.

GIRLS FLAG
Girls Flag was introduced to get more girls
active and involved in sports as well as give
girls the equal opportunity to play football.
Ten different area high schools and more
than 200 female athletes participate in the
annual Girls Flag Football Jamboree each
February. The program is designed to pro-
mote high character development, healthy
competition and self-confidence.
NFL FLAG
The Jaguars selected Duval Dynasty, the
Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Florida’s NFL
FLAG all-star team, to represent Jacksonville
at the NFL FLAG Championships in Orlando.
The championship tournament was held in
late January in conjunction with the NFL’s
Pro Bowl Week at the ESPN Wide World of
Sports Complex. CB Jalen Ramsey partnered
with Nike Jordan brand to give each competi-
tor a brand-new pair of Jordan football cleats
to wear during the competition. Last season,
RB Leonard Fournette surprised each mem-
ber of the Duval Dynasty with a pair of Under
Armour cleats prior to the championship.
