Elite 11 quarterback camps

ESPN RISE
02/01/10 - Now entering its 12th year, the Elite 11 Quarterback Competition is a four-day event which brings together the top high school quarterbacks and focuses on improving their quarterbacking play both on and off the field.
A competition designed to give the best high school quarterbacks prepare for the next level and beyond, the Elite 11 has become the most prestigious quarterback event in the country.
A late-July event held annually in Southern California, the Elite 11 brings together the nation's top signal callers from both the high school and college level, as college counselors work the event, providing an invaluable resource to the top high schoolers who will be moving up to that same level the following year.
Past players to participate at the event include Heisman Trophy winners Jason White, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Troy Smith and Tim Tebow as well Drew Brees, Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers, JaMarcus Russell, Trent Edwards, Matt Schaub, Matthew Stafford, Mark Sanchez and many more.
The final 12 high school quarterbacks for the event are selected after thorough tape evaluation, a telephone interview and an in-person workout, whether it be a NIKE Football Training Camp or an EA SPORTS Elite 11 QB Regional Camp.
The spring itinerary for the 2010 EA SPORTS Elite 11 QB Regional Camps is listed below. Top high school quarterbacks around the country are invited to workout to not only compete for a spot in the final Elite 11 Quarterback Competition in July, but also to receive advanced, one-on-one quarterback instruction. There is also a tremendous opportunity for exposure, as each event is covered by ESPN both online and on television.
The EA SPORTS Elite 11 QB Regional Camps run for two hours. The first hour is station work, as quarterbacks rotate through different stations, with each station containing a useful drill to improve each player. The second hour of the camp is throwing routes to wide receivers. The quarterbacks will begin with three-step drop throws (hitches, slants) and then progress through the passing tree with five and seven step drop throws. Each Elite 11 QB Regional Camp will also have a special accuracy competition.

With 2010 marking the 14th year of the NIKE Football Training Camps, here are some frequently asked questions and answers to give you a better understanding about the event.
Q: Who attends the NIKE Football Camps and what is their purpose?
A: The NIKE Football Training Camps are designed to help elite high school players with college potential advance their football and training knowledge in order to maximize their ability. Participants are taught position-specific and athletic performance drills designed by some of the top NFL football players and sports performance specialists in America, and it is all FREE for the athletes. The players will have an opportunity to work with SPARQ Trainers that have molded stars such as Deion Sanders, Walter Jones, Calvin Johnson, Derrick Brooks, and many more.
Q: What exactly happens at a camp?
A: Athletes who come to the NIKE Football Training Camp will register, where they will pick up their free NIKE Pro workout shirt, and get their photo taken. After height and weight are measured, the NIKE Football Training Camp is broken down into three parts:
1. SPARQ TRAINING: After a proper, supervised "dynamic warmup," SPARQ trainers work participants through specific drills designed to improve athletic ability, speed and explosiveness. Here, athletes have the opportunity to tap into the secrets of proper workouts that have helped players make it to the NFL, including cone and ladder drills. This period educates participants on how to improve football-specific speed, agility and quickness movements, and also how to train specifically for the needs and requirements of their individual positions.
2.
POSITION SPECIFIC DRILLS:
Participants are separated into position
groups (QBs, RBs, WR/TEs, OLs & DLs, LBs
& DBs) to work individually on football
skills and techniques with top-notch
position coaches with college and NFL
experience.
3. ONE-ON-ONES: The NIKE Camp concludes with one-on-one passing and non-contact line drills, which many say are the highlight of the camp.
Q: Are there other benefits?
A: Definitely! The NIKE Football Training Camps provide the best opportunity for national exposure that a camp can offer. Reports on the top performers in drills are delivered each week to Division I college football programs all over the nation. Video and action photos for ESPN and other national media will be taken. Participants will also be part of the in-depth coverage on ESPN.com, ESPNRISE.com and ESPNU.
Q: How does a player get registered to attend a NIKE Football Training Camp?
A: The NIKE Camps are free and registration information is sent out to top players/recruits who are in the Class of 2011. Players can be recommended by their coach as a high level recruit to preregister for the camp. If a recommendation is not possible, then a player may send in a five-minute video highlight tape so he can be evaluated. A third way to get registered is to test well at a NIKE Combine.
Coaches
can send in recommendations as soon as
the season is complete;
please include 2009 statistics, height, weight, position, honors/accolades, etc. with videotape if possible.
Mail tapes and recommendations to:
ESPN RISE Attn: Nike Camps
23954 Madison St.
Torrance CA 90505
1-800-660-1334
Players whose recommendations are
accepted will be mailed back NIKE Camp
registration information.
Q: I've heard one benefit of the camp is seeing other great players. Is that true?
A: Yes, the camps are known for the quality of football players they attract and one benefit to you will be seeing how you rate with your peers. Consider these numbers:
*Every year, about one of every three NIKE Camp attendees signs with a D-I college, and this past year, 47 percent of high school seniors who signed a football scholarship attended a NIKE Camp.
*The consensus No. 1 player in eight of the past 10 classes -- USC's Matt Barkley (Class of '09), USC's Joe McKnight (Class of '07), Florida State's Myron Rolle (Class of '06), Detroit Lion Derrick Williams (Class of '05), Detroit Lion Ernie Sims (Class of '03), Philadelphia Eagle Lorenzo Booker (Class of '02), Chicago Bear Kevin Jones (Class '01) and Denver Bronco D.J. Williams (Class of '00) felt it important enough to attend one of the NIKE Football Training Camps.
*Every top college football program evaluates and signs recruits who come to NIKE Camps: for example, every one of the 120 Division I college football programs currently has a NIKE Camp alum on the roster. Also, in the past, major programs like Oklahoma, USC, Florida and Ohio State have signed more than a dozen NIKE Camp attendees in one class!
Over 200 NIKE Camp alums currently dot NFL rosters, and that number is sure to grow in the next six months as current college stars that attended a NIKE Camp get ready for the NFL Draft. The NIKE Football Training Camps are where the best go to compete and get better!
Q: Can a bad performance at the NIKE Camp hurt my stock?
A: No, definitely not. The NIKE Camp is about getting better and competing. Participants DO NOT test! This is not a combine -- doing the 40s, bench, etc. is not a part of the event. Testing is done at the earlier NIKE Combines, which will run from Feb.-June at 16 locations around the country.
Bottom line, this is a top-of-the-line,
well-organized event that top players
can come to compete with and learn from
the best. Don't let someone tell you NOT
to go to a NIKE Camp without calling us
at 800-660-1334 to put your concerns to
rest, as there is a lot of
misinformation out there and it's
important to go to the source with
questions. ESPN RISE always places your
best interests first!
