The Jerrod Johnson Team 7- on - 7 Passing & Leadership Camp/Tournament
My name is Jerrod Johnson. Former Texas A&M quarterback and current Chicago Bear. I would like to invite your middle school aged athletes to attend my Team 7-on-7 camp / tournament.
The Idea
For the past three years I have wanted to host a football camp in my name to share my knowledge & experiences with kids from all over. Yet I wanted my camp to be fun informative and different than other camps. Which lead me to creating “The Jerrod Johnson Team Passing & Leadership Camp / Tournament". I wanted to fuse three of my passions leadership, teaching the passing game, & competition into a two day camp. In addition to the camp I also wanted to provide a positive activity that the community could rally around. My late Father was a former High School Football Coach & Principal. He strongly believed that the best way to strengthen the bond of a community was success in extracurricular activities. With that thought in mind I wanted to partner with the local School District to make sure the result of my camp directly benefited the student athlete participant’s physical & mental skill sets.
The Dates
Friday, June 27, 2014 (Camp: Skills Camp, Dinner & Chalk Talk, Team & Leadership Building Challenge)
Saturday, June 28th 2014 (Tournament)
Age Group
The camp ages were picked for middle school athletes. I feel middle school is where athletes start to scratch the surface of their athletic potential. My hope are that they gain knowledge as a they grow and develop into young adults and student athletes.
Camp Ages
Upcoming 7th graders, 8th graders, & 9th Graders (All students who have all been in middle school the previous year)
Agenda
Day 1, Friday, June 27th 2014
Phase 1: Skill & Position work (Hour 1 – Individual skills, Hour 2 – Team Skills)
Phase 1 will be a skills camp focusing on position specific drills and techniques. The first hour will focus on each player working on his individual skills at his position. (Ex. Fundamentals, technique, footwork, ) The Second hour will consist of working on team concepts. (Ex: Individual Routes, 1 on 1s, Route Combinations, Defensive Coverage’s)
Phase 2: Chalk Talk (1 hour of offensive & defensive passing terms ( Formation identification, Coverage’s , strengths & weaknesses of coverage’s, route combinations, etc.)
The second Phase will be an hour long chalk talk session lead by Jerrod Johnson teaching coverage’s, passing techniques, route combinations, and overall passing philosophy. The kids will receive a playbook they can take home with them that outlines the chalk talk session.
Phase 3: Critical Thinking & Team Building (1 hour of a critical thinking team building exercise)
The 3rd phase will be an hour long session on the field with their team or kids from their school. This station will be run by Strength & Conditioning professionals. They will be given a specific task with specific rules they must complete as a team with no errors. This will cause the team to designate leadership roles, create a plan, & execute as a team under pressure to complete the plan. The task given will test their physical conditioning, communication skills, and ability to follow instructions.
Day 2, June 28, 2014
The second day will be area wide 7 on 7 tournaments. This will be the opportunity for the teams to take what they learned Friday and implement them into a game setting. Each team is guaranteed 3 pool play games. The winners of every pool will go into the championship tournament Bracket. Immediately following pool play there will be a QB/WR skills competition and a Team Challenge Competition.
Staff
The Coaching staff will be a mixture of Current & Former NFL players, Collegiate Athletes from Universities all over the state, High School coaches, Football professionals, and strength & conditioning Professionals.
