Camp Commitment

Next Level 55's Big Man Technique Camp will provide specific instruction and drill work in all phases of offensive and defensive line play. Our commitment is to provide sound and proven fundamental technique work through our positive progression teaching methods.

This is a working football camp designed to develop and perfect the skills of offensive and defensive football linemen. Football instruction is concentrated, specialized, and hands-on for maximum repetitions. Scheduled for the end of summer, two weeks before the beginning of August football practice to ensure maximum carryover to the beginning of your football season.

Here are the camp objectives:

OFFENSIVE LINE

Coordination of individual blocks as they relate to tandem blocks such as scoop, fold and combo.
Step-by-step progression of 1-on-1 pass-protection techniques
Incorporation of long pass protection into different schemes such as drop back, slide and sprint out.
Develop an understanding of the total offensive picture as it relates to linemen. "Learn football, not just assignments."
