Season Kickoff and Program Enhancements
The upcoming football season for Prior Lake Athletics for Youth is set to begin with registration opening next week, signaling the start of a busy summer for players, parents and coaches alike.
A key highlight this year is the expansion of the Summer 7‑on‑7 Passing League, which will now run for seven Sunday evenings instead of the previous five, offering more opportunities for teams to compete and for athletes to refine their passing skills.
The league’s format includes individual skill stations, targeted passing concepts and grade‑specific 7‑on‑7 games, all designed to build competence and confidence on the field.
In addition, a Summer Football Camp for children in grades three through eight will run, emphasizing fundamental techniques and game awareness under the guidance of head coach Matt Gegenheimer and his staff.
A Coach’s Vision for Player Development
According to Gegenheimer, the camp and league are more than just skill drills; they are opportunities to instill a love for the game, promote teamwork and ensure that every athlete receives a fair, merit‑based evaluation as rosters are assembled.
