The 2026 Youth Camp is the official launch of Nordic Player Pathway™ and the first development event of its kind in Scandinavia.
Open to all motivated football players aged 12 to 19, the camp is built around structured coaching, position-specific sessions, and individual performance evaluation. The format is accessible. The standard is not.
ONLY 15 SPOTS PER POSITION AVAILABLE!
NFL player Hjalte Froholdt (Desert Viking) anchors the event as the featured coach. A Dane who made it to the highest level of the sport, his presence makes one thing clear: the pathway from Scandinavia to the NFL is not a story about exceptions. It is a path that can be built.
