the games of americas all american bowl week: december 26-31, 2025
The Game of the Americas All American Bowl Week is a premier youth football convention for students in grades 2 through 8, hosted at Malone Stadium on the campus of the University of Louisiana Monroe. As the only youth showcase camp and game held in a major college football stadium, the event delivers elite training and unmatched exposure. Focused on empowering underserved student-athletes and those with learning differences, the experience includes skill development, recruiting education, and specialized training for all positions - including kickers and punters. The programming emphasizes readiness, preparing athletes to train at a high school level. Featured events include the GRIT vs GRIND Camp (grades 2–7) and the NexxT Up Elite Showcase (grade 8), both designed to foster athletic excellence and personal growth. Education on Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) and personal branding is also integrated into the experience. In partnership with TeamUp Fundraising, financial barriers are addressed to ensure access for all participants - developing student-athletes, not just players.
