I believe the real value of camps is the skills and drills part. They're taught

Happens at all camps--the coaches only play the kids they want to see in 7 on 7

Wrestling Camp was the best. At least, back when they had wrestling.

On the boys side every kid gets lots of playing time. Too much imo.

Too much? The whole point of camp is to get floor time.
GeauxCougs

I just think there should be a little more skill development.
