Linemen Camp June 12, 2010

CAMP OBJECTIVES

OFFENSE: Teach fundamentals of drive block, reach, zeer, trap, zone, combo, down, and three- and five-step, as well as bootleg and sprint-out protections. Offensive linemen will work on individual blocks, as well as work in combination with other offensive linemen. Progressive blocking techniques will be emphasized.

DEFENSE: Teach fundamentals of reading blocks, escaping blockers, getting off the ball, hat and hand placement, use of hands, defeating the trap or kick-out block, squeezing blocks, and rushing the passer. Tight ends and linebackers will get specialized attention from the Gulf Coast position coaches.

CAMP PHILOSOPHY

It is our philosophy that football games are won or lost at the line of scrimmage. Line play is the most critical aspect of any football game. Offensive line and defensive line play are also the most technically involved areas on the football field. We believe a technically sound offensive or defensive lineman has a much better chance to succeed and help his team win games.

CAMP FEE AND DEPOSIT: $250 for overnight campers (includes meals and housing) and $150 for day campers (lunch only). Team discount of $50 per person for 10 or more players from the same team. Enrollment is limited to 400 players, so early registration is highly recommended. A non-refundable deposit of $50 must accompany the application. Copies of the application are sufficient.

REGISTRATION: Deadline is June 4. Make checks payable to MGCCC Football Camp, PO Box 548, Perkinston, MS 39573. Cash or checks will be accepted for the remainder of the balance during sign-in the first day.

ELIGIBILITY: Any student, grades 9-12, is eligible if he has not begun his senior year in high school.

WHAT TO BRING: Helmet, T-shirts, athletic shorts, cleats, socks, underwear, casual clothes, towels, washcloths, toilet articles and bedding. Bring enough T-shirts and shorts to last eight practices.

HOUSING AND MEALS: Overnight campers will be housed in campus residence halls. All campers will dine in the campus cafeteria, Heidelberg Hall (lunch only for day campers). All meals are included in the tuition. The need for spending money is limited, although concessions will be available at night.
