My son went for three years...great camp, stay overnight. One session will be in June, the other in July. Utsports.com will have the info. When my son went, only Vols staff ran the camp. No hs coaches. It was awesome

In 2007 a friend and I attended a football camp. I guessing its not the same as a youth camp your talking about because this camp was for high school football players. There was lots of well repected coaches involved with the camp, had a great time and learned alot.

My son is only nine , but he is a rock star on the field already . It seems young but he trains with Tom shaw out at espn wise world of sports already on a weekly basis . These guys will tell you if he looks to have a future get him involved now playing with the best.
Camps are great so we will be their thanks for the info.

I took my son to the youth camp under Fulmer, I thought it was good. The next year we went back under Kiffin, it was 75% what they called volball, aka touch football. It sucked. It was better under Dooley, more instruction, less Volball. Just my opinion from what I have seen, if your kid's a beast and you want him to get some good drill work with upper level coaches to help him excel it may be a little of a waste. If, however you want your kid to get some drill work and some touch football and have some fun, maybe get some players autographs it is worth it. Also somebody mentioned staying overnight, unless they have changed things the youth camp doesn't offer overnight stays for the campers. So unless you're local you will have to spring for a room. Hope that helps. Also the camps for the high schoolers are the bomb.

Sorry for the confusion, my son went to the camp for high school players.

I took my son to the Dooley camp. Ever since he got back, he's been trying to show me how to shower and is really anal about the distance between our garbage can and the wall.
