OL/DL/LB Camp - It’s work time again and there is no better place to prepare yourself for a championship season than at the Terry Bowden Football Camp.  UNA OL/DL/LB Camp enters its 8th season and has become one of the top football camps in the Southeast. The camp will be instructed by the UNA coaching staff as well as some of the top college and high school coaches in America. This is a working camp! This camp is for players and teams that want to take their game to the next level! The main goal of this camp is to prepare OL, DL, TE, and LBers for trench warfare! Fundamentals, work ethic and toughness are the cornerstones of what will be taught during the camp. Each station will prepare you, as a player, to WIN in the 4th Quarter!

As always at OL/DL Camp, agilities and conditioning will be stressed every session. There is no better way to prepare and push yourself both physically and mentally and develop team unity than by working together for three days this summer at Coach Bowden’s Elite Camp!

Offensive Linemen/TE’s will be drilled on all phases of OL play. Fundamentals and techniques such as: drive block, zone, veer, trap and scoops. Pass protection skills such as drop back, quick game, slide and sprint will be stressed. TE’s will also be drilled in route running and ball drills.

Defensive Linemen will be drilled in the fundamentals of attacking, defeating blocks such as the down, reach, counters and traps. Pass rush techniques will also be stressed along with zone blitz drops, stemming, pursuit angles, tackling and ball get off.

Skill Session is for players who are entering 9th thru 12th grade. It is a three day work camp designed to enhance the skills necessary to play in a “Spread” offense. This camp is designed for all offensive skill positions (QB, RB, WR, & TE).

Quarterbacks will learn all of the fundamentals of being a “Spread Offense” QB including footwork,

drops, meshes, option reads & pitches, and throwing

the football.

Running Backs will be drilled on all phases of RB play including footwork, meshes, options, ball security, pass protection and routes out of the backfield.
