Training, Competition, and Opportunity Collide at AAE’s Premier Girls Flag Showcase
In a growing era of girls’ flag football, leadership and structure matter more than ever. At the All-American Exposure (AAE) Girls Flag Football Camp in Orlando, Coach Lo, widely known as the “Kamp King” is doing more than hosting an event. He’s building a developmental pipeline.
“This is one of the premier camps,” Coach Lo said as the day unfolded. “We’re doing something other camps are not doing. We set the stage. We give them a real combined opportunity; we train them first, then they compete. They’re getting elite-level instruction before they ever step into competition.”
That philosophy separates the AAE experience from the traditional camp model. Instead of simply running drills and scrimmages, the camp structure emphasizes teaching, correcting, and refining before evaluating. Athletes receive hands-on instruction from some of Florida’s top trainers—coaches with résumés that include countless NFL and Power Four collegiate athletes from programs like Oregon and Nebraska.
Among the athletes benefiting from that environment was Mia Garcia, a Class of 2027 standout who made the trip from the Tampa area, a region known for its competitive flag football leagues. For Garcia, the opportunity was about more than exposure; it was about growth.
She spent the day working with Jeremiah Fails, former WKU & Rhode Island University Lab of Elites, a respected trainer known for developing high-level receivers, including current Alabama wideout Mike Williams. Garcia embraced the details.
“He’s teaching all the receiver stuff that I’m learning so much from,” Garcia said. “How to stab ladders, how to run routes correctly, it’s an awesome opportunity to be able to learn from him.”
Coach Lo made sure the instruction was intentional and personal. Instead of crowded stations with minimal feedback, athletes rotated through small-group sessions with three receivers to one coach, ensuring technical corrections weren’t missed.
“Sometimes you go to camps, and there are kids everywhere,” Coach Lo explained. “But here, you’re getting real coaching. One-on-one training. That’s how you get better.”
For Garcia, the combined portion of the day was just as valuable. While she had participated in similar drills before, this time felt different.
“I have done the drills before,” she admitted, “but today we really looked into how to do them and how to make myself better at them.”
That distinction, learning the ‘why’ behind performance,e reflects the camp’s broader mission. It’s not just about posting numbers; it’s about understanding technique, body control, and situational movement.
Garcia, who primarily plays wide receiver while also starting at linebacker, embodies the modern versatility of girls’ flag football. “I’m a receiver, and I also start on defense as a linebacker,” she said with confidence.
Coach Lo sees that two-way ability as a sign of the sport’s evolution. “In girls’ flag, you can play multiple spots: quarterback, center, linebacker. That’s a pure athlete. That’s development.”
Beyond the drills and competition, the event serves a larger purpose: community building. Orlando’s flag football scene continues to expand, and camps like AAE are helping close the gap with established hubs like Tampa.
“We’re creating a platform,” Coach Lo said. “A place where athletes can train, compete, and be seen.”
For Garcia and the other young athletes in attendance, the experience delivered exactly that: a blend of elite instruction, competitive reps, and a roadmap for improvement once they return home.
As the sport continues to surge in Florida and across the country, programs like AAE aren’t just hosting camps, they’re shaping the next wave of athletes. And under Coach Lo’s leadership, the message is clear:
Train first. Compete second. Grow always.
