ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Phoenix head football coach Jason Swepson and his coaching staff welcomed student athletes from Heritage High School, Chapel Hill High School and Apex High School for a three-day football camp held this month on ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s campus. Learn more about the camp by watching a short video produced the Office of University Relations.
Teams spent the mornings working out and running drills together, and the afternoons learning from the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ coaches. “These teams will spend three days on campus, trying to get better as a team,” Swepson said. “We’ll have our opportunity as the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ staff to coach their team for about 80 minutes a day, and basically we’re trying to teach them what we do with our team.”
After practicing hard on the field all day, the athletes participated in seven-on-seven scrimmages with local area high schools before taking part in “chalk talk” with coaches each evening during the June 15-17, 2011, program.
