Choosing The Right Camp

[JRutledge]

I totally agree with you Glenn. If you go to a Women's college camp, it is going to screw you up totally. Men's college is very different, but the Women's mechanics are totally different than both. The NF and Men's mechanics are much more closely alined with each other in signals and floor coverage. But the college does not want to you birddog for the most part, and officials that do both are having trouble with the NF mechanics. And in Illinois, they are telling officials that if we do not do proper NF mechanics, it will be reported and might cost us post-season games if we do something else.

I agree that you have to choose the camp based on where you want to go.. If you want to move out of HS into the next level, you have to attend the camp that has the observers from that level. They are no more than try-outs for the next level and tend to teach the mechanics and philosophy for that level. Attending a college level camp and bringing the information back to HS level does not always work. If you have no expectations of moving beyond the HS level I would look for the best camp that is dedicated to NF rules and mechnics.
