This week I spent Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights at the Westside Football Camp hosted by the Gates-Chili Spartans. The camp involved offensive and defensive drills along with 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 play. I wanted to get a bunch of different photos of the players running drills and plays.
Every night started with a huge football field full of football players participating in stretching exercises. Here is one of Gates-Chili's players doing leg kicks (Frankensteins) up the field.

After about 15 minutes of stretching the players broke into groups for offensive or defensive drills. Monday and Wednesday varsity worked on offense while JV worked on defense and alternated on Tuesday and Thursday. On offensive days, varsity divided up into positions and worked on drills pertaining to their position. Here Greece Athena's and Brockport's quarterback work on hand drills that strengthen hand muscles and build hand-eye coordination.

The quarterbacks also worked on footwork. Here a Greece Arcadia qb practices a 3 step drop.

The running backs worked on their agility and footwork also. Here a Gates-Chili player works his legs as another holds on tight.

The last offensive skilled position is the wide receivers. They worked on catching the ball with distractions and with specific routes. Here a Hilton Cadet catches a pass behind him on a crossing route.
