He will be there. He was a bit intimidated as a rising freshman last year. It was his first college camp ever and they don't separate freshman out. Which was one of my negatives about last year's camp. They should let the underclassmen do their own 1on1s because there is so much physical difference between rising seniors vs freshmen it's a problem every time it happens. Even most sophs vs seniors. Regardless, he still enjoyed it and said he wanted to come back, so what do I know. Maybe that was good for him, I'm just a dad.
2 inches taller, a little stronger. He been competing with upperclassmen all Spring, so he'll be ready to roll this year for sure.

i think its good that they let the freshmen mix it up with the upper classmen. they're always gonna have to make that transition from middle school to high school and from high school to college. so if you learn to make the transition from middle school to high school, it becomes easier to make the transition from high school to college. and if they're really talented, one day they'll have to transition from college to pro's.
as a freshman, each year gets easier as each year you mature more and get stronger. if you can't cut it as a freshman in high school, then they put you on jv until you can. there is no jv in college. so i think its good to learn how that transition works at an early age...

Thats all true, but literally ALL the sophs were standing on the sidelines watching when the 1on1s started. I didn't see a single soph brave enough to jump his azz out there and take that smoke from the WRs. They should have just set them up with their own 1on1 battles instead of letting them stand around is all I was saying. But hey, learn how to "eat". My son will be a soph this time, so he will break that trend because he was there last year and I doubt he will be intimidated this time around. He stands 6ft and is kind of deer like, so get your azz out there. We didn't come out here for me to watch you watch others. Nothing to loss at all. You might get the W. And this was just DBs. I don't know what the freshman and sophs had to do in the other 1on1 battles(Dline vs Oline OR LBs vs RBs).

My old man always made us compete against bigger kids .Lol .

I don't know what the freshman and sophs had to do in the other 1on1 battles(Dline vs Oline OR LBs vs RBs). hey monster, just explain to him that its only natural that upper classmen will be bigger and stronger than freshmen so that he won't lose any confidence. but then, explain to him to accept it as a "challenge" to compete against the upper classmen and that he has "nothing to lose" if they have the upper hand on him. but on the other hand, he has "plenty to gain" if he holds his own against the upper classmen. hey, in my athletic days, we "always" wanted to compete against the older kids because we always felt it was a "badge of honor" if we could hold our own against the older kids. we always had a chip on our shoulder. i remember when my middle school basketball team (which was undefeated) played the high school jv's in a real game at the end of our season and we had the attitude that we'd dare to beat them. kinda like the fab 5 was when they were freshmen playing against upper classmen in college. well, long story short, we loss to the jv's who were 2 or 3 years older than us. but we held our own, losing by only 15 points. so even though we loss, we felt good about ourselves because the jv's were physically bigger and stronger than we were. so tell your son to take it as a "challenge" when he goes up against the older guys and that he has nothing to lose and nothing to be ashamed of if he loses the battle. the main thing is for him "not to back down", don't be intimidated, and fight like the dickens to win that battle. an attitude like that will only make him a better ball player in the long run...

Again, i agree, and my main problem was not with the mixing, but moreso the standing around. If you got that many kids start another 1on1 line. That would make more kids jump in naturally.

AT 6ft I would not have him focusing on their Strength, I would have him focus on their and his technique, have him analyzing the moves that the upper class are making and understand how they set them up. those skills will help him anticipate and react, and when the strength and speed catchup he will be a monster.

I don't know what the freshman and sophs had to do in the other 1on1 battles(Dline vs Oline OR LBs vs RBs). Man that brings back memories . I was at a football camp at Gilford college . They had Johnny Unitas, Mike Curtis ,Chris Hanburger , Gloster Richardson . Lol I caught a pass over Mr Curtis (they were playing off of us ) and the pro's stated ribbing him . The next time he lined up over me . I came of the line and he put those hands on me I could not get him off of me . He looked at me and winked and said : I will never for get this " you didn't give up that what counts " . My day did not get better Johnny High Tops hit me on a button hook that nocked the wind out of me but I made the catch all I could hear was great catch . I told Mr Richardson that I could not let the ball go because it was imbedded in my chest . They laughed at me for the rest of the came Johnny High Tops did say that he was sorry about the heat .

That is odd but more so the standing around The camps I have worked we had a rotation no one was ever standing around there was always something going on in the rotation . You may want to address that with the coaches at the camp .

There is always standing during 1on1s at every camp. They could have just added another group is all I'm saying. We are also Doing Duke's DB camp on June 17th. Will have a good comparison then.

Even doing one on one's we never had that problem AM . We did one on one's at four different points on the field . If you had a few Middle schoolers that were Id as more advance players you moved them to the High school level and with us yes you have some standing around by not for long . Your 3 lines each had a receiver line, DB line with QB's for each line . your running one on one's at one time on different ends of the field or on different fields . Your not Bashing the camp your just giving input to make the learning experience better Hell we always welcomed input from our campers parents and sometimes from the kids themselves .

Last year they had two lines for one-on-ones. One line was the man up line and the other line was the zone line. So basically a cornerback line and a safety line. The linebackers were also inside the stadium and they were using half the field. Maybe they should have moved more of the kids to the practice field so they could do four lines each.

Sometimes you have to many kids in one position and not enough coaches . This year they may have made accommodations for a large turn out . It's not a free camp is it ? If not free they should have a cut off limit for each position that could help things . Also if it's a Prospect's camp why would middle schoolers be there any way , Freshman maybe ,Sophomore , Juniors & up coming Seniors fine . Now if it's a free camp there's not much you can do about the size and numbers attending .
