Camps

The Truth About Camps Make sure you are READY to COMPETE Multiple schools will be in attendance at a college football camp from D1 toJC Height, weight, reach, wing span, broad jump, 40, pro shuttle are allrecorded and kept on recruiting file You may feel like just a number until you do something to stand out Have to pass the “look test” for coaches to notice You need to be fully prepared to post a time if they want to see you run Make it a good one FACTS Camps on a college campus are meant for coaches to see prospects runaround, compete and show off their talent (rising sophomores and juniors) If you aren’t already on their “list”, you better turn heads to get noticed Nothing is guaranteed College camps are not meant to make you a better football player anymore,it’s all recruiting based
