St. Mark’s Football Clinic Goals:

  • St. Mark’s Football Clinic aims to prepare 7th-9th graders for their upcoming youth football seasons, essentially serving as a four-day training camp for the young men to have before beginning their seasons.
  • Each session of the camp includes conditioning and skill instruction in both offensive and defensive positions. We break down into four offensive positions (quarterback, running backs, linemen, receivers) and three defensive positions (linemen, linebackers, secondary). Two sessions include a special teams period for kickers, punters, long-snappers, returners, and holders.

    Positional Skills Stressed:
    Quarterbacks: footwork, ball handling, throwing mechanics, option technique
    Running Backs: footwork, cuts, ball handling, blocking, pass receiving
    O-Linemen: stance, start, explosion, balance, run blocking, pass protecting
    Receivers: stance, release, hand technique, ball handling, stalk blocking
    D-Linemen: stance, explosion, reading keys, defeating blocks, form tackling
    Linebackers: stance, reading, defeating blocks, pass drops, form tackling
    Secondary: stance, steps, man and zone techniques, run support, form tackling
  • An on-site trainer will be available for all sessions.
  • We stress a player-coach ratio of 8:1
