The ALCAN Full Day Program sets us apart from other programs because at ALCAN our philosophy is simple: We Care, We Listen, and We Teach.  We consider it a wonderful opportunity to teach youngsters more than just drills, and make their week a special experience full of learning, activities, and experiences to take with them long after they have left ALCAN.
We call this the SCRUFF System: Skills, Creativity, Respect, Understanding, Fun, & Fundamentals.

FULL DAY PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
We are proud that ALCAN has developed a successful format with our Full Day Program.  We have been innovators on the use of time and surface area, and our programs are second to none in creativity and enrichment.

Small Group Instruction & Learning Stations: with over two hours devoted each day to Small Group Instruction, the participants get individual instruction and reinforcement.  The program is designed to offer more than enough time to concentrate on individual skills, and include fun and games as well.  We aim to Teach!

• Learning Stations: Players and coaches will teach and learn in smaller groups of players, and maximize the field surface.
• Instructors Aim of Fundamentals: We encourage our instructors to be involved in the teaching and development of great fundamentals in the small group experience.
• No waiting in lines! At ALCAN we learn and play, not stand and wait.

Individual Skills: Focus on Individual skills so players challenge themselves regardless of skill level to develop and maintain solid habits.

• Athletic Skills: emphasis on Speed, Agility, and Quickness.
• Offensive: introduce and strengthen great habits for stance, ball handling, passing, catching, blocking.
• Defensive Fundamentals: stance, off the ball, reading plays, taking blocks, and rotation.
• Safety & Respect: we take this opportunity to prepare players for all kinds of game & life situations.

Games: Team & Small Groups:  At ALCAN we focus on the “fun” in fundamentals by encouraging our youth with a variety of Small Group Games, which include Enrichment Activities: team building events, and exercises for our players to become “Students of the Game”.  In Team Games, our instructors take charge by actively participating with the players to give them personal attention, and make the games a fun and positive experience for everyone.

Summer Training Techniques: we encourage players to continue their football progression with a program to practice at home all summer long

• Fitness Training: fun workouts to work on power and strength developed by our fitness instructor
• ALCAN Workbook: daily workbook and summer reference guide and souvenir

HALF DAY PROGRAM:
Players and Families with other commitments are welcome at ALCAN. We understand there are work schedules to abide, so we offer the Half Day Program in the morning or afternoon.  The players simply stay with their group until their parent arrives for pickup, or joins right in when they come in the afternoon.  It’s that simple.

AGE GROUP CATEGORIES: ALCAN uses the American Youth Football Association of Fairbanks age classification.

INSTRUCTORS: we will invite Alaskan Coaches and players with College experience, and the top High School athletes to assist in the program. In addition, we will invite Out of Town Instructors to come to Fairbanks and participate in the program.  The advance registration gives us the opportunity to invite Guest Instructors from throughout America to Fairbanks to participate in the program, and create a special experience with our players.  More information about the instructors will be announced.
