about camp 24

TKJ Foundation founder and former University of Tennessee football player Todd Kelly Jr. is hosting the third annual Camp 24 football camp this July. Camp 24 will take place on Saturday, July 13, 2024, from 9 AM -12 PM at the Emerald Youth Haslam-Sansom Ministry Complex on 1740 Texas Avenue. The camp is open to ages 7-14.

Todd Kelly Jr. holds his hometown of Knoxville close to his heart, and he knows how important it is to give back to the community that has given him so much. That’s why he’s hosting a football camp to help young players reach their dreams. Camp 24 is named after Zaevion Dobson, a young football player who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his friends from gunfire. Todd changed his Tennessee jersey from No. 6 to No. 24 in honor of Dobson, who wore the number at Fulton High School. In addition to improving skills and technique, this camp serves as a meaningful way to honor the memory of a courageous young man and give back to the community. Through this camp, we aim to inspire young athletes to realize the potential they have to make a difference and be a hero in their own way.

The camp will include drills, stations, and competitions. Campers should wear regular athletic attire with cleats or sneakers. The camp will be conducted with no contact and without football pads. A meet-and-greet session will be held with former and current Tennessee football players. Food will be served on-site (free of charge) at the conclusion of camp, and all registered athletes will receive a camp T-shirt and exclusive Camp 24 and TKJ Foundation goodies.

Join Todd Kelly Jr. for a day of fun, football, and giving back to the community.
