Battle of the Trenches Linemen Camp is sanctioned by the Mississippi High School Activities Association.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Battle of the Trenches Linemen Camp is to create an environment of greater understanding of, and the proficiency with, the fundamentals, techniques, skills, motivation, and sportsmanship necessary for success on the offensive and defensive line.
Eligibility:
In accordance with NCAA rules on prospective student athletes, all boys must be between the grades 9-12. That is, a prospective camper must be entering the 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade the fall immediately following the Battle of the Trenches Linemen Camp session. High school graduates are prohibited to attend the Battle of the Trenches Linemen Camp (per NCAA rules). Campers will be matched against other players of the same grade.
Note: Some campers would prefer to play at a higher grade-level than the one they are in. Battle of the Trenches cannot assess the skill level of a player relative to campers of a different grade-level during the period that camp is in session. Therefore, a camper will NOT be allowed to move up. However, if a camper feels that they should be in a lower level, due to ability, or because younger teammates are in attendance, we will allow it.
Cost:
The cost per camper is $120.00. This cost will cover meals, housing and a t-shirt. If campers want to order pizza at night they must bring their own money. Registration deadline is June 1, 2011. Call for team discount at (205) 617-9877. WALK-UPS are welcome.
