Camp Philosophy

Our camp is a one-day, non-contact camp that will stress fundamentals, form and technique with our primary objective focusing on quality instruction for each and every player in a fun atmosphere. We not only hope to teach skills to make better football players, but just as importantly, we hope to stimulate the general interest in the game of football and promote the concept of teamwork. This will include emphasis on a good work ethic, motivation, self-discipline, and self-confidence. Only so much football can be taught in one day, so we take advantage of every minute we spend with the kids during our practice time. Our day will be intense and upbeat in tempo.

Camp Format

Following morning registration, a meeting will be held to introduce the staff, which will include NFL coaches and players as well as college and high school coaches, review camp rules, and explain to the athletes what we expect to accomplish during the camp.
There will be three rotating periods that will last approximately 35 minutes each. Each participant will participate in periods for offense, defense, and strength & conditioning.
For example Group 1 (8th and 9th graders) will work on offense for the first 35 minutes, Group 2 (10th and 11th graders) will work on defense, and Group 3 (12th graders) will work on strength & conditioning. At the end of each 35 minute period, a horn will sound and the groups will rotate to a different segment. At the completion of the practice, every group will have worked in all three areas. We feel that this system is the best way to get the most out of the camp for two reasons. First, it allows everyone to be coached in and exposed to three distinct parts of the game. Secondly, splitting up into groups allows us to cater the instruction based on age and development. For example, quarterbacks in 12th grade, will be taught more advanced concepts than quarterbacks in 8th grade.
After lunch, we will have our team period, which will consist of splitting up the groups into teams and having a 7-on-7 tournament.

 

Staff

There will be more than 120 camp team members, comprised of NFL coaches and players, college coaches and high school coaches that are scheduled to help teach the latest and most effective football techniques.
