at the camp we go to first our is team time, your own team doing warm ups or INDYs or team whatever you wanna do with yourself. then second 45 mins -hour is 7 on 7 with linemen doing one on ones somewhere else. then the final hour-hour fifteen is live scrimmage.

Our coaching staff has been running a youth camp for the past 7 years. We have 6yrs old up to 12 yrs old players in camp. Average participation is 75 players each camp. Our camp is 2.5 hours long and this is how we break it down.
Each group is divided by age. 6yrs old, 7 yrs old, ...12yrs old.
7 groups total and they rotate thru 7 stations. Each station is 15 minutes each and a different coach is at each station to instruct the campers on specific skills.
Our stations are divided into 3 offensive(WR, RB, OL), 3 defensive(DB, LB, DL), 1 special teams(PPK). We have our WR coach at the WR station and he modifies his teaching to accomodate the level of the camper. We also try to have some of our upperclassman attend camp and assist with different stations.
The last 30 minutes of camp is for games, contests, races, etc. It is time for the kids to have fun and compete against each other.
Hope this helps.

We did the same this year with our Kid's Camp. It was for kids going into grades 2-8. Last year we had the kids choose 1 offensive and 1 defensive position and they spent the days in camp learning those positions.
This year we had 7 positions (QB, RB, WR, OL, LB, DL, DB) and each group rotated to every position for 15 minutes of skill development. I think it went great and was the only efficient way to do with 250 kids at this years camp! We like taking time out and having the kids playing touch football or a Punt Pass & Kick competition, but with 250 kids it didn't seem possible so we scratched it.
