FOOTBALL CAMP/CLINIC KENTUCKY

In August 1997, I will be conducting the 2nd annual Kentucky Football Camp.

The initial one was generally a success with some 'minor technical problems' (like a VCR that did not record and a thunderstorm that halted the last 30 minutes or so of a scrimmage.)

I would be interested in hearing from any football official about the topics that you feel should be included in such a camp.

The semi-final format is:

Beginning at noon on Friday 2-3 hours of meetings Beginning at 6:00 on Friday scrimmages with observers and VCR equipment

Beginning at 8:00 on Saturday 4 hours of presentations
12:00 to 1:00 cookout lunch
1:00 to 4:00 meetings by position

Any suggestions for topics?

Does anyone currently have or attend a camp like this? What do you charge/pay?

Thanks
