We're looking at organizing a two-day camp this summer for local HS players and we want some fun ideas. I looked around at a whole lot of different camps and there's only four things that people do - cycle through different positions, work at one position, testing, and some kind of scrimmage/mini-game/7-7. It just feels a little tired to do that for two whole days, we want to stand out a bit and do something fun for one session. Has anyone seen a fresh idea at one of these camps?

Is this a full on team camp or more individual based camp with some group/team work?

It's an individual camp for regional players.

How about having mini-competitions throughout the day?
It still amazes me how jacked kids can get trying to knock a box off a garbage can. Punt/pass/kick is a blast, especially for those dudes that never get a chance to do this. Obstacle courses for time, whether by group or individual, are fun too.

It just feels a little tired to do that for two whole days, we want to stand out a bit and do something fun for one session. Has anyone seen a fresh idea at one of these camps? What sort of time frame are you talking about? 9-Noon; 8am-3:30? Some ideas in no particular order: (the obvious of individual skills, etc, omitted) 1. SAQ drills and clinic on how to improve for combines, etc 2. Combine/Testing 3. During 7on7 let the line have their own tournament or games 4. During your "lineman challenge," have the "skill players" do the same thing but competing between each other 5. Special teams interest groups: Kicking, Punting, Snapping, Returning (Let linemen learn how to kick) 6. Camp Olympics 7. Some problem solving games--a little about this, you could use low ropes type activities, or dream up some "Survivor" type team puzzle game, etc. 8. Mental part of the game I saw Rick Neuheisel show a "game" he used with his quarterbacks where on a dry erase board/overhead projector he would do a two minute drill with three QB's. The roles were this: 1. QB on the field 2. Time keeper 3. Crowd noise. The coach gives the player four choices: 1)Chunk (play 12 yards or longer, but a lower completion percentage) 2)Chew (0-11 yards but high completion percentage 3)Clock it 4)Time out. So, you start with the ball on the -20 and the QB has to call the play: Left/Right Chunk or Chew. The clock starts and then the coach says what the result of the play is from incomplete pass, 2nd and 10, or in bounds, left hash, 2nd and 3. Neuheisel taught them he wanted time outs at 1:30, 1:00 and :30 unless they needed a timeout to kick the game tying/winning field goal. So, they would simulate a 2 min drill like that. He brought a few coaches up to demonstrate and it was pretty entertaining. I don't know why you couldn't do that in small groups regardless of position. Don't know if that's helpful, but a few things to chew on or spark your own ideas.

We're looking at Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. Little mini-games like that could be good.

Interesting. Any footage on this? Unfortunately no. It was at least 10 years ago.
