LAFAYETTE, La. (103.3 The Goat) - One of Louisiana’s biggest football names is headed to Acadiana this spring. New Orleans Saints star Alvin Kamara is hosting a youth football camp in Lafayette on Saturday, April 4, 2026, offering young athletes the chance to learn fundamentals, sharpen their skills, and experience a rare on-field session led by one of the NFL’s most dynamic playmakers.

What Families Can Expect

This event is meant to be both a learning experience and memory to last a lifetime for kids and their parents as well. Kids from 6-16 will rotate through skill stations led by experienced FlexWork coaches, with Kamara providing instruction, motivation, and on-field interaction throughout the afternoon.

What I’ve always loved about camps like this, especially when the athlete is a Louisiana favorite, is that kids get more than drills or technique work. Rarely do they get the opportunity to get up close with the athletes they watch on tv every fall. They get to see the game through the eyes of someone who has played it at the highest level, someone whose journey started the same way many local kids do.

Why This Camp Matters

For many young athletes, attending a camp led by a professional player isn’t just exciting, it’s an experience that can change the trajectory of young athletes. Camps like this can boost confidence, instill discipline, and reinforce teamwork in ways that stay with kids long after the final whistle. And, with Kamara’s connection to Louisiana and the Saints fan base, the experience hits a little closer to home.
