Interview With
Matt Griffin
31 years. We began in 1983 with one camp and currently have 31 camps and academies across the country for athletes ages 7-18. Many being associated with a current or former NFL player/s, in their respective teams market. Each of our camps are coached by High School and College level coaches at approximately a 10:1 ratio. Campers will practice up to three times per day (depending on the camp) with an emphasis on learning the techniques and skills to be successful on the field, as well as be a successful person off the field. The camp is not a speed and conditioning camp. Depending on the camp, campers may be required to wear equipment. Off the field, campers will be supervised by father counselors at approximately a 10:1 ratio as well. If a multiple day camp, participants will eat all meals on campus as well as stay in the dorms if they are staying overnight. The camp not only provides a great learning experience on the field, but is also a great environment to meet new friends!
Our home office is located in Maryland, but we sponsor camps across the country.
Our hope is that each player will have a great time at camp and leave a better player, and person, than we they arrived.
Football! Some camps are position specific (QB/WR Academies – Lineman Academies, and Kicking Punting and Long Snapping Academies) while others will train players in all positions, with the exception of special teams.
The participants will practice up to 6 hours each day. Depending on the camp they choose to attend, they may be film review sessions, speakers, autographs sessions with the NFL pros, as well as some free time in evening to participate in other recreational activities.
Camps will range from 4 hour to 4 days and range in price from $125.97 to $799.97.
We have a small core staff and then hire around 500 staff members each summer to help direct, coach, and run each camp. Staff members will go through a background check before being allowed on staff.
Our camps are considered some of the best camps in the Country because of our outstanding coaching staff and camp structure.
Our enrollment begins in September of the previous year (2013 in this case) and will continue on a first-come, first-serve basis. Most of our camps are overnight so there is a limited amount of dorm space which is based on the host location.
