Next Level Football Camp is open to all student-athletes in grades 9th through 12th.  We separate the campers by position to receive hands-on teaching and guidance from a selective group of former and current college athletes along with high school coaches across Michigan.  The staff provides full-time supervision for all campers and parents are welcome to attend all activities.

Here are the camp objectives:

All activities will take place at Ypsilanti High School, MI.

What Will I Be Taught?
Next Level staff will conduct in-depth instruction geared specifically toward individual techniques in all aspects of football.  Practice sessions will consist of fundamentals of each position, speed work and agility drills, game strategies, real life lessons, and team competition.  Furthermore, the staff will emphasize our core values and personal responsibility throughout each activity.

Meals
Next Level Football Camp understands the importance of food intake and nutritional conditioning.  We serve each camper a continental breakfast and a lunch along with fluids and water.  On the last day, we serve the campers pizza as a reward for their hard work and dedication throughout the camp.

What To Bring?
Campers will receive the OFFICIAL NEXT LEVEL FOOTBALL CAMP UNIFORM (T-shirt ) during check-in.  The camp is non-contact; therefore, we do not use football pads or helmets as part of activities at the camp.  Camp uniforms are required for all practice sessions.  Campers are responsible for their own belongings and Next Level Football Camp assumes no responsibility for lost or stolen money or items.

Medical Care
All campers must complete the medical wavier form prior to camp participation.

Length of Camp
The High School camp will last 2 days July 25 and July 26, 2009.  The camp will start at 8:00 a.m. and run until 4:30 p.m.  At approximately 12:00 p.m., athletes will eat lunch to refuel and take an extended break.  Campers should arrive at the school before 8:15 a.m. and picked up at approximately 4:00 p.m. each day.

Coaches/Mentors
The coaches/mentors will include successful men throughout the community who have succeeded on and off the field throughout the community.  Most coaches/mentors will be from the community.  We also have a chance to get some prolific players who have played or are playing college football throughout the country. 

Nutrition
The coaches/mentors will be giving the athletes instruction of how and what to eat as an athlete. As an athlete it is very important to eat the correct thing to keep you in shape. Along with that we will have information up everyday on different meal plans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Collecting Data
Coaches/mentors will monitor and chart athlete’s weight lifting numbers, agility, and speed numbers.  We chart the numbers on paper and then convert it to our Next Level Sports performance-training database.  When the athletes come back to the camp the following year, we can see how much improvement they have made over the previous year.  The athletes can also use this as a great foundation for the upcoming season.  Each athlete will receive a hard copy of their performance improvements and data along with the knowledge that we store each athlete’s data in our database for future use.

College Connection
With the high caliber coaches/mentors and the testing that we provide at this camp, it will be great for athletes to get looked at.  Most of the coaches/mentors have connections with one or more of the numerous universities across the nation and this camp can be an avenue for student-athletes to get the exposure they may not receive without paying for the more expensive university camps.  In the future, this camp can become a direct link for college coaches to find student-athletes for athletic scholarships.  With our staff of coaches/mentors knowing numerous college coaches along with the testing that we administer during the camp, the sky is the limit for these sometimes-overlooked suburban and rural student-athletes.

Speakers
The speakers at the camp could be anyone of the coaches/mentors.  The coaches/mentors will all have a positive story that will relate with the student’s achievements both on and off the field.  All of the coaches/mentors can use our connections to try to get a well-known athlete to come back and speak to the campers.  We even have had a few NFL athletes from our own community that can come back to speak at the camp.
