New Orleans, La. (103.3 The Goat) – One of Louisiana’s biggest football names is headed to Louisiana this spring. New Orleans Saints star Chris Olave is hosting a youth football camp in Metairie, Louisiana on Saturday, May 16, 2026, offering young athletes the chance to learn fundamentals, sharpen their skills, and experience a rare on-field session led by one of the NFL’s most dynamic playmakers.
The camp, presented by FlexWork Sports, will take place at Joe Yenni Stadium – East Jefferson HS from 9 a..m. to 1 p.m. and is open to children ages 6 to 16.
What Families Can Expect
This event is meant to be both a learning experience and memory to last a lifetime for kids and their parents as well. Kids from 6-16 will rotate through skill stations led by experienced FlexWork coaches, with Olave providing instruction, motivation, and on-field interaction throughout the afternoon.
Campers will receive:

What I’ve always loved about camps like this, especially when the athlete is a Louisiana favorite, is that kids get more than drills or technique work. Rarely do they get the opportunity to get up close with the athletes they watch on tv every fall. They get to see the game through the eyes of someone who has played it at the highest level, someone whose journey started the same way many local kids do.
