9:00am -- Stretch, Warm-Ups, Motivation It's Thursday and that means it's "Playoff Football Day." Our Directors and Coaches are excited to get going and that comes through in their opening day speech.  They frame up the daily goals and remind campers of important expectations. Keeping well hydrated is emphasized by the camp athletic trainer. 9:15am -- Speed and Agility This is one of the few "complete group" activities we do. The entire camp gets to work on the single most effective way to become a better athlete--speed and conditioning development.  We teach running form so each camper gets the most power and efficiency out of every running stride.  Lateral agility develops a better athlete.  The spirit is high as we get the blood going. 9:30am-- Offensive Skills Stations It's roll time.   Campers are separated by age and experience level.  Today we focus on Wide Receivers and Tight Ends, so footballs will be in the air.  And former Giant Wide Receiver Odessa Turner has arrived!  Coaches have staged five stations, each led by an adult assistant coach.  The program rotates like school class rooms.   Campers are getting great instruction and plenty of attempts to get it right.  The coaches are vocal and constantly reinforcing the positive moments. 9:50am-- Water and Gatorade Break All campers brought a refillable water bottle and they head quickly to the Gatorade tubs for a fill-up.   It's a cool day fortunately and campers are reminded that they should take a water break any time they feel the need.  11:00am --Camp Combine Skill Challenges Each day, campers have been testing themselves against drills the best NFL stars must face.  Today they run the 40 yard dash for time.  Each camper applies some of the speed development techniques learned throughout the week.  In this case, they compete against themselves (rather than other campers) and hope to improve their personal best.  Each camper starts from a three-point stance and sprints  40 yards. The player is timed in 10, 20 and 40 yard increments, to gauge the player's explosion off the line and time to top speed. 11:30am -- Lunch Break We head inside.  Campers bring their own healthy lunch.  A peanut free table is set aside.  Coaches and campers get to know each other in a more social setting.  Coaches are pleased that all campers clean the lunch room and throw their garbage away properly.
