Buckeye Camp

[ABoselli]

Has anyone here attended the Ohio State camp? I've signed up for this year and would like to know what to expect.

I am a first time participant in this camp as well, so I do not have any knowledge of the camp to pass along...but was hoping you could answer a question for me....have you heard back from them with regards to your application being accepted?

I attended the Camp last year and it was a great experience. All of the clinicians were fantastic, and even though I am from ACC country, the folks at Ohio State were first class.

I emailed mine to them and followed up with another email. They got back to me. They suggested the Penn St camp the week prior if I didn't want the extra 2 hours to Columbus. It's run by the same folks with the same program, apparently.

I may go that route as it is closer. Here's the site they gave me - it's still under construction somewhat but the tab for About the NLCFOC works. http://www.nlcfoc.com

Quiggle, was the lodging included in the total price last year? What did you do the Thursday night you got there - it starts at 7 pm. How was Honig? Did you break out by position for all of Friday's sessions?

Yes. the lodging was included, and more than adequate. Last year, we met at The Woody Hayes center, and held a talk from Jim Tressel, and Dave Perry. There were also a few others that spoke, but it those 2 were the highlights. It took about 2 hours. After that, we went to a local watering hole for a social gathering aand to learn our crew assignments for Saturday. Honig was great!!! Nothing else can be said but great, and classy!!! And yes, we did break out by position on Friday. It was very informative. DO IT!!!

By looking at the applications, I'm assuming that the Buckeye and PSU clinics are for college level officials only, right?

It helps to understand the college game, but I was not when I attended.
