2012 Arkansas State Red Wolves Football Camp Dates

Gus Malzahn and the Arkansas State University football staff have put together a large slate of camps that will take place this June and July. They will have most camps on the campus of ASU, but they have also scheduled a traveling camp for Arkansas High in Texarkana.

The Red Wolves coaches are preparing for three different Team Camp events. The Team Camp is a padded camp for high school coaches to bring their teams to compete against other high schools from around the area. The 2-day camp will have team competitions in drills, 7-on-7, and more. The cost of the camp is $60 for a commuter and $80 for an overnight camper.

There will be two different sessions of the Red Wolves Senior Mini Camp. These 1-day camps will feature on the field practice sessions, agility work, meetings with coaching staff, and more. The Senior Mini Camps are for campers that will be entering grades 9-12 in the Fall 2012. The cost of the camp is $30 for each camper. The Traveling Camp will be very similar to the Senior Mini Camp except for the location in Texarkana.

The Future Red Wolves Camp is a 3-day, morning-only camp designed for boys entering grades 1-8 in the Fall 2012. Campers will be broken down into groups by grade and position to receive as much individual instruction as possible. Campers will enjoy learning football fundamentals from the Arkansas State Football Staff. The cost for the Future Red Wolves Camp is $100, but there is a discount for additional siblings.

The Arkansas State Special Teams Camp is designed for long snappers, punters and kickers that will be entering grades 7-12 in the Fall 2012. This 1-day camp will feature instruction from Arkansas State University coaches as well as Jamie Kohl and his staff of former coaches and players. The Special Teams camp costs $150 for the full day of instruction.

The 7-on-7 and OL/DL Camp is designed to get high school coaches to bring their teams, both skill players and linemen to the campus for competitions. The camp can accommodate individual campers that play offensive or defensive line and will be entering grades 9-12 in the Fall 2012. This 1-day camp will have a 7-on-7 tournament (guaranteed at least 7 games) and offensive and defensive lineman camp. The cost of the camp is $150 per team (for up to 20 players). Each additional player is $10.

Finally, the Gus Malzahn Fantasy Camp is open to men ages 21 and over that want to learn what it takes to play for "one of the hottest name in college football.” Coach Malzahn and his staff invite you to join them for an exciting weekend of fellowship, story-telling, offensive and defensive meetings and much more. The camp is designed for men ranging from “Football Gurus” to “Sunday Morning Quarterbacks” and everything in between. This will be a laid back weekend of fun and fellowship. The goal is to give campers a behind-the-scenes look of what it is like to be a member of a championship team. The cost for a "Heisman" camper is $1500 while an "All-American" camper is $1000.

2012 Harding University 7-on-7 Team Camp

The Harding University Bison coaching staff will be conducting a 7-on-7 Football team camp on June 9, 2012. Last year, the camp (held in Searcy, Arkansas) hosted about 20 Varsity teams from 5 states. This year, the staff is planning to host both Varsity and JV competitions between teams from Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. The Bison staff is still accepting teams if you want to participate.

There will be LOTS of football with FREE admission for spectators. The participating teams can work on their passing game against other quality opponents from different states. As mentioned above, there will be a junior varsity division during the camp.

Players will get exposure to a college campus, a sample of dorm life, and contact with NCAA Division II Football Coaches. Teams get the opportunity to start working on chemistry by spending a weekend together.

The cost of the camp is very reasonable. For a small additional fee, the Bison coaching staff can handle the overnight arrangements for your team. If you want more information, the brochure for the camp is located at the Harding University Athletics site (Sports Camps). This link will take you directly to the brochure. Special thanks goes out to Coach Clay Beason for the information!
