Roughly 100 middle school football players spent the evening of April 17, 2026, training and socializing with current Arizona Wildcats at the second annual First Down Faith Football Camp in Tucson. Hosts included quarterback Noah Fifita and his brother, linebacker Dash Fifita, who helped run drills, lead games and spend one-on-one time with campers.

The camp combined fundamental skill work with competitive play. Participants ran position drills — routes, catching and coverage techniques — and then put those lessons into practice in three fast-paced “ultimate football” games that served as the night’s finale. Coaches and college players circulated among groups, offering pointers and encouragement.

Several moments stood out during the scrimmages: Princeton Britt fighting for a touchdown against Arizona receiver Tre Spivey, Ahsha Robinson celebrating a timely catch, and Andrew Fay reaching for a tipped pass on a corner route. Younger players like Kai Smith and Kendrix Robinson made highlight plays, while defensive efforts from campers such as Sophia Hitchcock helped keep the action close.

Beyond instruction, the camp emphasized personal interaction. Campers drew up routes with quarterback Noah Fifita, tried to stop Dash Fifita in coverage, and shared the field with Arizona players like Jacoby Strebing in tight end and receiver battles. Organizers made a point of pairing youth participants with college athletes so each camper got practical feedback and a memorable experience.

In closing remarks, Noah Fifita reinforced the camp’s broader message: football is important, but it should not define a young person’s identity. He told the group he wants the next generation to understand their worth comes from faith and character, not just their on-field success or popularity at school.
