Individual Skills Camps for Summer

[CoachT]

I haven't seen any talk recently about whether or not there are any individual camps at colleges, etc, for high school players to work on technique and other skills. Are there any and, if so, which ones would you recommend?

[possumcop]

There is a topic "Youth Camps" on page 2 where some are listed for ages 8 through 11th grade. Some I know of are Carson Newman O-line camp, Cumberland College in KY, Univ. of KY has an excellent set of instructional camps in the summer, I know several folks say the UT camps are more about show than instruction and I know their program is better than UK, but UK seems to provide really good camps for middle through high school age kids that want to learn.

Nashville Storm has an awfully good coach in Patrick Abernathy with NFL experience and a strong desire to outreach to youth football. I think I can guarantee he will want to do some clinics if the demand is there. Would love to hear from some of you on this topic, as this will encourage Patrick. His 23-4 record over last 2 years isn't chopped liver, and he has both the desire andd a wide resume' to offer. Love to hear your ideas; if there is a void here, we'll do what we can to fill it.

If he is interested in putting on a short two or three day camp for underprivileged kids grades 6 - 11 in the Appalachian Mt. area, contact me through coacht personal messenger and we might set up something for the week before or after the dead period.

Iwould contact Patrick at patrickabernathy@hotmail.com or (615)573-5543 and inform him of your interest. IWOULD DO THIS NEXT WEEK,as Patrick has Storm tryouts this Saturday and is, I am sure, "slammed".

It's hard to get more interested in youth football than Patrick is; he is the part of our ownership group that mandated a heavy outreach for youth, Middle School, High School football. East Tennessee may be a stretch or may not (we always have PLAYERS whose careers started in that area). You'll get an empathetic voice on the other end of the line, I can tell you that.

I know of one 'kid' for sure that would come to his camp from middle Tn if it was held during the summer 'dead period'.

I think that MTSU still has camps for individual skills.

MLREB this sounds like a good camp and worth the money, particularly IF the coach of the Little Rebs is an instructor.

Drew Bennett/Erron Kinney (Titans)- Sports International Football Camps, July 12-16-(800) 555-0801; Nashville

 

I could be wrong, but the area least served by the available offerings is youth football(although MTSU may have a good camp in this area), and I don't know the age groups served by the Bennett/Kinney Camp.If there is high demand in the younger age groups, I know the Storm and Patrick Abernathy would be very interested in filling a void; whether that exists is up to your input.Patrick can be contacted at (615)573-5543 or patrickabernathy@hotmail.com.

I seriously doubt they could get that legend in his own mind to show up.
