Coaches, We're looking to start a three or four day camp this summer with jv - varsity level players. It will likely be more skills than scheme based and will probably be helmets only. Anything you can think of for us to consider as we're organizing it? Maybe the biggest question, if you could do the first year of your camp differently, what would you change? Thanks in advance. |

Ive been apart of two types of camps:
One camp I did not charge, however we had t-shirts for sale.
The second camp we charged $25 and included a t-shirt.
Our camp is from 6-9, Monday-Thursday. We do all of our base stuff.
We dress in shells for this as well.

We do our camp after wt room for 3 hours.
We charge $30.
They get a tee shirt
We focus on fundamentals and installing our schemes.
Really our schemes should be partially installed anyway from work over the summer.

We did some competitive drills.
Full pads.
Do have outside coaches come in some years.
We scrimmage another local team that we do not see during the season. They run their camp at the same time we do. The last day we bring it.

Do you have your camp scheduled for the last week of summer before your preseason?

Make sure that you get insurance on your camp. I repeat make sure that you get insurance on your camp.

I put on a half day camp for high school offensive linemen. The reason I go half a day is in the past I went longer and after 4 hours they were done. Here is the link to our football site with the camp brochure, camp schedule, and medical consent and liability release form. This might give you some ideas. This will be my sixth year running the camp and each year it gets bigger and better. I get between 75 to a 100 kids. What I have done know is I invite high school and youth coaches out and it also turns into a clinic. I don't charge the coaches who attend. They are able to view the drills and techniques being taught. www.grossmont.edu/athletics/m_football/men_football.aspKen Wilmesherr |

We started running a HS camp in 1982 because our kids were going to camps at colleges and a) not running our stuff, b) getting hurt-missing time in our programs because in spite of only being in helmets, there was contact, and c) they spent half the day lifting-doing conditioning.
We figured our kids didn't need to give University of Michigan or others their money to do conditioning, they could do that with us for free.
Plus we could make sure they wouldn't get hurt, and get a lot of reps on what they were going to do during the season.
It started as a Monday-Thursday camp, 9 AM-Noon and 1-2:30 PM with Thursday PM for timing 40's and early dismissal only.
After a few years we cut back to three days because kids were really dragging by Thursday morning and it saved teams who came from out of town having to pay another night for lodging-meals.
We charged anywhere from $60-$85 depending on different factors including if lunch was provided and if we had to "rent" facillities from Community Ed or other agency.
D-I college coaches can no longer even be guest speakers at HS camps. We do still have local D-2 guys come and talk.
I am now at a small school and because we have "Pay to Play," we run our camp M-W 8:30 AM-Noon and charge only $35.
After we pay for T-shirts, I use fees to pay coaches (general rule is $10 an hour). Whatever is left I use to buy coaches' apparel.
Camp is the last week in July, as close to the start of practice as we can.
We do not do any Kicking Game drills or anything that resembles conditioning.
We do 7-on-7 games every day.
For long-term success make sure kids can see improvement in skills-techniques and in learning your system, and enjoy the time spent including building morale.

kw and blb,
Since this is a camp, when/if you pay coaches, is it in an official capacity like checks with your camp's name on them or just taken from the cash that participants pay with?
