Youth Football Camps

[Birddogtx]

Any ideas on resources for youth football camps in Texas?  I was thinking it might be fun to go to a few with my son this summer.

A lot of the local high schools put on camps, info is usually out in April or May. Lamar does some summer camps. Depending on his age, and how much you want to spend,  U of Tx, A&M, etc also do camps in summer.

Looked into that for this past summer. I wanted to put my son in a contact camp, not just a drill camp.....which is all that is offered in our area. If you do that, plan on droping $800.00 - $1200.00 for a week. Most of them practice full contact and have a game the last day.

My 9 yo son went to a full-contact camp this past summer.  I saw a HUGE improvement in his footwork and knowledge of the game.  Definitely well-worth the $$ I spent.  He went as an overnight camper, 4 day camp if I remember correctly.  Overnighters stay in the dorms.  He went with a friend of mine's husband and son.  Dads can sign up to be "father counselors."  My son's already signed up to go next summer and is looking forward to it.  They have camps in Dallas, San Antonio, and "Houston", which is put on at SHSU in Huntsville, where my son went.

The only downsides were there was a lot of upfront hype about the pros they get in, autograph sessions, etc.  There weren't many pros who showed up for it.  Oh, and I heard the administrative side was unorganized, but I haven't run into any problems with it.  However, the coaching was phenomenal and that's what camp is about.  All of their staff has either played or coached at the college or pro level.

I forgot...if anyone decides to go, please use me as a reference.  My son will get $50 put into his camper account to spend at camp, lol.

A contact camp???

im trying to get Chris to come on here and put up details about his camp, talked to him today about it while my son was training, he does it 2 times a week, i dont know about contact, but fundamentals, speed and agility, he said it was about muscle memory is why it is so long of a camp.
