After all the work this summer, I can actually say camp is finally here. We started our day at 9:00 am to make sure all the paperwork was ready for the players when they checked-in and passed out their team gear orders. I also helped any coach finish up any paperwork for their player packets and set up computers for meetings.
Once the players were done filling out their paperwork, each class was let into the locker room to make sure they had all their equipment and got their camp issued t-shirts and shorts. We started with the Senior from 1:00 - 1:30, Juniors from 1:30 - 2:00, Sophomores from 2:00 - 3:00, and freshmen from 3:00 - 4:00, and 4:00 - 5:00. After we were done in the locker room, it was off to our first team dinner.
After dinner, we had our first team meeting and Coach Land introduced the coaches to the players and went over some guidelines for camp. We then split up into offensive and defensive meetings. During the defensive meeting, each coach had to introduce themselves and talk a little about their background. Our defensive coordinator, Coach Abbs, gave a presentation about our defense and what expectations are in place for all defensive players.
When the team defense meeting was over, we split up and went to position meetings. At these meeting, we installed some of our basic defensive coverages and watched film from last year to show the new guys what everything should look like. By the time our meeting was over, it was after 11:00 and everyone was tired. I forgot after four years of being out of college football how tiring camp is, but I was quickly reminded on day one.
