Quarterback camps focus on training the quarterback to be the best possible player he can be. Rigorous training that is focused only on the quarterback position provides a foundation for learning the skills necessary to be an effective member of the team.
There are several types of quarterback camps: One day QB camps. Week long camps. And my favorite because you get the best value, a weekend camp. Many people favor the quarterback receiver camps because of the fact that there is someone there to throw to, so the "campers" get real experience on how they need to play their position.
There are quarterback camps all over the country. Although costly, they are a worthwhile investment for anyone showing the drive, commitment, and skills needed to be a professional football player. Some camps are invitation only, while others only require that you sign up and pay the fee. These camps fill up fast though, so it's best to sign up as early as possible.
QB camps are available for all ages. There are camps for children, as well as for professional players. At the kids' camps, professional players sometimes show up to play with the kids, sign autographs, take pictures, answer questions, and give tips on how to succeed.
Not all quarterback camps are created equally. Many camps have NFL quarterbacks come and do meets and greets. Some campers love this while others are not so fond of these camps. There is little drilling and practice, and kids learn little about how to actually play the game. Other camps concentrate on making the kids work hard, drilling, and practicing moves like throwing repeatedly. Your personal preference will decide which camp you will attend.
Quarterback camps are expensive, and they don't last very long. Once the camp is over, the children have to rely on their own memories to help them keep practicing. Most QB camps cost around $350-$550 range.
However, there is now an alternative to traditional summer camps. QB videos cost around $39.
You can now buy QB training videos and DVDs that show you the same QB drills that were taught at the quarterback camp! It is much easier to grasp a concept when you can see it in motion over and over again than it is sitting at a desk without any access to the information you were given.
Video training allows quarterback camps to take place right there in your own back yard, and for a fraction of the price.
