AN ANNUAL #5 BEATS FOR NICKO YOUTH PROGRAM
MOOSE #5 BEATS
FOOTBALL CAMP
Fundamentals. Confidence. Teamwork. Every registration gives back to kids and families facing congenital heart disease.
ABOUT THE CAMP
More than a football camp
The Moose 5 Beats Football Camp is an annual youth football camp founded by Matt "Moose" Ludwig to inspire the next generation of athletes while giving back to a meaningful cause. Led by Moose, other collegiate football players, coaches, and local volunteers, the camp focuses on teaching football fundamentals, building confidence, encouraging teamwork, and creating a fun, positive experience for every participant. More than just a football camp, every registration helps support the mission of #5 Beats for Nicko.
Proceeds benefit children and families affected by congenital heart disease through scholarships, grants, family support, and community initiatives. The camp reflects the values that inspired our organization—using sports to bring people together, encourage perseverance, and make a lasting impact in our community.
WHY IT MATTERS
Every rep on the field helps a family off it
Camp proceeds directly support #5 Beats for Nicko's mission—honoring Nicko's legacy through scholarships, grants, family support, and community initiatives for kids affected by congenital heart disease.
