Come develop your football skills and test your mettle at our football camp and combine! Camp features an additional three days where players will receive instruction in a non-contact environment to safely learn the fundamentals of the game; participate in competitions, 1 on 1 events and football related challenges; and get a head start learning the scheme and techniques of his school’s team!
The second week includes fundamental skill development at each offensive and defensive position: stance, footwork, blocking, tackling, receiving, route-running, pass covering, ball carrying and passing. Coaches will prioritize the instruction of safe, proper tackling technique and limit the full contact sessions to ensure the safety of our campers. This includes following all health and safety protocols from Albany DOH, Section 2 and GCSD. Campers will compete with team mates and with players from other high schools from around Section 2. The camp will conclude with controlled scrimmages (FR/JV will scrimmage separately from Varsity).
