I am a high school coach that will be running a youth camp. What are some good ideas (fun games/drills) to do? Also, If any of you have a template of a youth camp format I would appreciate looking at it. Let me know your ideas. Thank you.

I have run one for the past 3 summers and they have been well received. We go 2 hours a day over 4 days. We divide the kids by age groups and have them stay with their groups for the entire camp (4 groups). Key is to focus on a few small basics but also provide drills that the kids enjoy. Each station can be modified a bit based on age group. Our daily schedule looks something like this: 10 Minutes- Warm up/Dynamic stretching lines and agility drills (make them fun) 40 Minutes- Offensive Circuit (10 minute stations) - QB Station- Teach basics: taking snap, 3 step footwork, throwing mechanics
- RB Station- Taking hand-offs, making cuts, TD celebrations
- Receiver Station- Pluck/Tuck, route running (jugs machine)
- O-Line- Basic blocking techniques and fun drills to hit bags!
Short Water Break
40 Minutes- Defensive Circuit (10 minute stations) - D-Line- Cat/Mouse, Bull Rush Drill, Strip sack
- LB Station- Run/Read Step, Fill/Scrape, Tacking (rings)
- DB Station- Coverage basics, 1 on 1, Tip Drill
- Special Teams- Kick, Punt, Long Snap, Jugs Machine (returns)
30 Minutes- Competitions and games to end each day (Throwing Targets, Punt/Pass/Kick, Flag Football, etc.) Popsicle for winners Feel free DM me if you have any questions.

Well for fun these is "battle ball". Email the UW Whitewater coaches(erickson the D coordinator runs the camp) they will explain the concept. It is fun, and teh kids love it. In fact every year I coached that camp the thing the kids talked more about was the "borland ball" (old D coordinator now at buffalo) championship than anything else.

We did what others have mentioned. I think it's important to play games at the end and also give them some type of food.

I like the idea of TD celebrations.
We also do a DL pass rush drill where they sack the qb, ending with a saxk celebration.
Fun is key.
Air ball is fun ... basically 10 vs 10 2 hand touch. Kids love it.
We dont go beyond 2 hours.

We used to do a Punt Pass and Kick competition This past Saturday we did one of those plus some contests that timed running of various courses, plus FG kicking. Then something I'd never seen before: 4-way tug of war.

We had over 100 kids in grades 1st-8th at ours back on the 17th and 18th, we did a agility circuit, and a 10 minute station of each position. We also finished each day with touch football. Some of the popular favorite stations was QB throws into the net competition and dizzy (spin around 10 times) and try to kick a PAT. Each camper received a t-shirt, a ticket to the county all star game, a ticket to our first home game, a drawstring backpack (sponsored by a local business) and a bookmark that had our schedule on it (sponsored by a local business). We train our high school players to run each drill station, its really been a great experience for our kids and the campers. It is also a nice fundraiser for us.
