Curious what some of you think about doing an overnight team camp away at a college campus. If you have done something liek this what types of things do you do to promote team bonding, etc. outside of practice?
Thanks.

The camp we go to, there isn't much time for anything but football. We play game after game after game.We do have a talk after the games are over, but thats it.

We go. Outside of a fun little activities (movie, etc.), we do a morning run the first day at 5:00 AM. We end up on a huge hill and have a little ceremony.

When I was in Arizona most all the schools went away for overnight team camps. I was lucky enough to be at a school that was wealthy enough to go to San Diego every year (my home town), and as such we did a lot of stuff at the beach. You just have to watch it that the kids don't get burned out.
The big one is skit night, which I have always felt was a good way to end off camp. I have also done the movie thing before, it isnt exactly team bonding but some movies can work with sending a good message.

We run three sessions and we had 21 total teams at camp last year. Since we can't have contact anymore, which means no helmets, shoulder pads or leg pads, we do a host of other activities. - Speed & Strength Competition - 7-on-7 Tournament - Linemen Trench Wars Tournament - Beach Competitions We also run controlled 11-on-11 sessions with no pads. Teams will hold shields for one another or some choose to do it without shields. The injury rate has decreased dramatically, but coaches are still happy (myself included) with the amount of work our team gets in. And as far as bonding goes, it is hard to beat the beautiful setting at Lake Tahoe. You can visit www.laketahoefootballcamp.com for more details! |

We use to go to a big university for football camp. They provided everything, and had practices/scrimmages, drills with position coaches, 7 on 7 and lineman challenges, Goal line challenge between every school that was there. It was exhausting. No down time but it was great for the kids, a lot of teambuilding. Now we go to a JUCO and we still love it. The JUCO Camp has a lot of down time for us coaches and players. So we watch film, play basketball, swim and do all these other activities at the school. You get to set your own schedule and you can set up scrimmages with other teams. We love both depending on what you're looking for.

We went to a team camp for the first time last summer and had a great experience. Wall to wall football. College coaches treated us right. Lots of scrimmage work. No complaints.

We go to a camp every summer. Absolutely love it. Gives players a chance to get to hit someone else, allows them to see "live" action, and gets us some practice with a game-like experience
I remember going to Benedictine College (Atchison KS) when I was a junior in HS. Such a fun time. Beautiful campus, beautiful town, and lots of good football. We were some small hick school from Missouri playing against 3 KS teams. Two were damn good programs and one was a huge school that wasn't very good. I remember having to go against a Nebraska commit in a 1v1 pass rush drill. To give you an image, I was a 5'10 180 lb (on a good day) and this kid was 6'4 280 and could squat 745 pounds. He headslapped me so hard that I fell to the ground.
I love the opportunity to play/coach against someone you have never heard of. It feels kind of nice to go into a game situation without a huge gameplan, scouting cards, etc. and to just line up and play ball. Your few core plays vs. their core plays. Your 11 vs. their 11. It's football at its purest
