ENROLLMENT LIMITED REGISTER EARLY

We are very pleased with the success of Northeast L/LB Clinic in that we have increased our enrollment since the origin of the camp. Therefore, WE FELT WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO OFFER LINEMAN AND LINEBACKERS THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND A SPECIALTY TYPE CLINIC. Based on our past and present success, it is important that all candidates apply early to guarantee a spot at the clinic.

 

Why Should I Attend Lineman Linebacker Clinic?

OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE LINEMAN and LINEBACKERS are also skilled athletes.  Not only are these the most unsung positions on the field, but they also contribute the  most to the success or failure of each game.  Great demands are placed on these positions.  Discipline, perseverance, repetition, and understanding the total concepts of Offensive Line techniques and Defensive Line reads are necessary to be able to meet the great expectations  which come with these positions.  In most high school situations pre-season or in-season  team practice cannot devote the individualized attention and concentration necessary for  ultimate success.  If your expectations of yourself go BEYOND being AVERAGE then this is  the clinic for YOU.

EXCLUSIVE concentration on offensive and defensive linemen skills and techniques will  be taught by skilled coaches who have achieved measures of greatness in these two specific  areas, both as players and coaches.  Each athlete will receive a total football experience:  development of confidence and competence, direction for proper training and conditioning,  understand the importance of academic grades for college recruitment and scholarship  opportunities as well as the NCAA Clearinghouse rules and regulations 2008.  College training films, lectures and chalk talks will also be utilized to make you a better Offensive/Defensive  Lineman.
