Mini Camp is when you will able to wear pads and a helmet and get involved in fully kitted drills. The drills are more in-depth and position specific than the Taster Session and there will be a game of the team offense vs defense on the Sunday.
Mini Camp is the next step to playing for the Killer Bees, it gives you the opportunity to try out a variety of different positions before choosing the position that is best suited for you. Our qualified, insured and experienced coaches will be there to help get the best out of you, guide you in choosing a position and speed up the learning curve, to what is a new sport to the majority of people. The Sunday session will involve individual drills then combo drills where it will be an offensive player competing with a defensive player before playing a game simulation with the whole offense vs defense at the end.
It is essential that you attend both days of Mini Camp as the skills learnt in the first day are invaluable for the heavy contact drills and match on the second day. For the Sunday please bring your own lunch as there is only 30 minutes scheduled for lunch on this day.
You will need to bring:
- An Opaque gumshield
- Football Boots suitable for grass (Football and rugby boots are fine)
- Lunch
- A drink (it's a long session so bring plenty!)
- Appropriate sports clothing
- A completed Health Form
To get to the American football pitch from campus accommodation: Walk past the outside the STV along the main road into campus and carry on until you see the all weather pitches on your left, walk to the far side of the fenced all weather pitches, turn left and walk down the side of them until you see a grass pitch with a wooden fence around it. A map can be found here. Players will be on hand to point you in the right direction.
