2026 Sioux Falls CJ Ham Youth Football Camp powered by ETS

About this event

Minnesota Vikings Legend, FB CJ Ham, ETS, and IFA present the 4th Annual CJ Ham Youth Football Camp - Sioux Falls. Open to 400 kids between ages 6-15 (going into grades 1-9 in the '26-'27 school year), CJ Ham’s youth football camp will be hosted at Kirkeby-Over Stadium at Augustana University on June 14th, 2026.

1st-4th grade camp will be from 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM

5th-9th grade camp will be from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM.

The camp will include one-on-one football instruction and will focus on character development, leadership, and sportsmanship. Participants will receive hands-on training from CJ Ham, ETS Sioux Falls, and Augustana University's experienced players and coaches while also being taught valuable life skills such as teamwork and dedication.

Additionally, there will be frequent off-the-field conversations about leadership, work ethic, and education, as C.J. stresses the importance of these intangibles in leading to a healthy and successful life. One of C.J.’s main objectives in his initiative to give back is to ensure that each child believes in themselves. 

Please be sure you sign up for a ticket for the correct camp based on ages. All proceeds from camp will go toward a charitable initiative in the Sioux Falls area.

Also note: 5th-9th grade camp will include combine-style testing (40 yard dash, shuttle drill and other on-field testing)
