Not sure how common this is in other parts of the country but anyone on here take their team to camp during their preseason two-a-days? Not like those team camps with other teams, like just your team. We start on Monday will go doubles for a week then we go to a local camp ground for 4 days the second week with just the team keep em overnight and all. Anyone else still do that, I know alot of teams in this part of PA use to do it wanted to know if any others do to.

We did it for 3 years at my old school under our old coach. We got there on monday evening.. practiced that night.. the next two days we did 3-a-days.. with the middle practice just being helmets and going over special teams and special situations.. I feel it was really a big reason for our successs.

We've done it for almost the entire history of our program. I did it as a player as well.

I wish we did something like that. It would eleaviate a lot of kids missing a day or two throughout doubles. We have a large groups of kids that just showed up on moday. It was there first day the staff has seenthem all summer. I would load all these athletes up on a bus and take them to a camp ground, then the staff would have complete control over their eating and sleeping habits for t he week. In our school district, school lunches are the main food source for a lot of the kids. I may have to research this and implement it in the future here in oregon!

This was our second year. We go for the first 3 days of conditioning, no pads just shorts and helmets. Great time of bonding for team while they live together, eat, sleep and practice together. We go to a local army training camp, stay in barracks and parents volunteer to prepare meals. Kids affectionately call it "Death Camp", but look back on it an see the value of. Graduates from last year thought it was a major factor in our season's success, 7-3, first round of playoffs only after 4 years of program. I think it's a great experience.

If you take the kids to camp the number one thing I would stress isno hazing. I won't go into details but a kid and his parents have a 3 million dollar lawsuit against the school district because of what happend at camp.

I think we might remind them of that more than we remind them of what to do on a play. We try and keep them busy and get them tired enough so hopefully they are to tired for that crap. But we stress it over and over that it will not be tollerated. We do a skit night where they all preform and the frosh get booed off the stage but thats about as far as that goes. |

In Georgia they instituted a rule last year that made it all but impossible to get to overnight camps so we eliminated going.
The rule states that you must have 2 meals between practices and even though that doesn't sound like a big deal you end up with so much down time that going away doesn't make sense.

Sounds like in Georgia the state association is pretty involved in regulating practice times and conditions. We are pretty much given a start date, told we have to have one off day every 7 days and thats about it for us. Does the Georgia athletic association keep pretty close tabs on all of that? Didn't they a few days ago issue something about practice times due to heat?
