There have been 5 7 on 7 sessions so far. It's been consistent. I'm really not complaining - I get the student coach's motivation. I just was surprised because it wasn't what I expected.

My son had the same experience in VA.

He is not done growing

try competitive body building as a second sport

Nat Gas Man

6/21/17 2:53pm

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

Good perspective.

runningfoo

Sounds like a showcase, not a camp.

assuming you believe the 7-on-7 part of camp reflects the entire week

Byu football camp is the worst of all sports

You must have extremely broad experience to make this statement

I went to BYU football, basketball and volleyball camps

Camps aren't for training but showcasing. Got to train on your own

That's not what byu advertises

Yes, I have young sons that want to camp for baseball. I called BYU to talk

Some local HS coaches bring their teams

That might make sense.

I have a good amount of experience with the camp

Thanks for the perspective

Is that possible to eat one's weight in ice cream? Wouldn't weight always

ByuMba90

That is why you have MBA in your name. Your point is valid.

That's assuming he's eating other foods and the dairy hasn't wrecked his insides

vagabonder

But that wouldn't stop a teenage boy from trying.

You have to consider his effluent.

You stupid asymptote.

Agreed- a kid needs to grab hold of things and make it his own experience. That

I'm at the camp for the younger kids.

I am watching part of the camp.

runningfoo

Sounds like he isn't recruiting Kalani hard enough

coolblue

6/21/17 12:30pm

He's not ready for that yet!

Don't give up just yet

Thanks!

In principal we had the same experience

stonecougar

Hoping he is more gracious that gratuitous.

Florwood

6/21/17 12:55pm

LOL. he was gratuitous

stonecougar

6/21/17 2:12pm

Cool - I'm not expecting an offer.

runningfoo

6/21/17 2:03pm

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

El Paso Coug

6/21/17 12:53pm

I'd agree with that approach with the older players,

runningfoo

6/21/17 2:16pm

The purpose of a camp is not to make your son better....

CoachSpeak

6/21/17 12:57pm

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

Gorum the Old

6/21/17 1:16pm

is it a team camp, or an individual camp?

Individual

Good to hear that Swim Camp motivated him.

Is camp one day? Are there no skills clinics, footwork drills, agility

This is a drawback of having a loyal and strong fan base

stonecougar

Before folks weigh your experience too much, when was this?

20 years ago...roughly

It is still relevant today. My kids will be going for their 2nd and 3rd yr next

This is it in a nutshell. Not much effort to make the camp very good

my daughter had the same experience with Basketball. It was a really bad camp.

GeauxCougs

6/21/17 2:40pm

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

blueaussie

6/21/17 3:26pm

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

GeauxCougs

6/21/17 3:54pm

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

blueaussie

6/21/17 4:47pm

I agree. I thought you meant during games

Tell your son to make the most of the plays he gets in. If he's good, he will

Their website and Facebook page are out of date.

I wouldn't judge most football trainers by their webpages

Love Kalani, but BYU's football camps are poorly run and organized

jomo

I wouldn't say that is a fair characterization
