Quarterback Camps Focus on Position Specific Skills and Technique
A quarterback needs to be able to throw the ball fast, far, and accurately. Attending a camp specifically designed for QBs will allow you to spend your week working on these skills. While a general skills camp will allow you to spend some time playing QB and may offer some training specifically for you, a QB camp will give you a lot more time focusing on the job, with better one-on-one instruction and critique of your technique.
Becoming a better quarterback is not just about throwing the ball further or more accurately. A quarterback is a team leader, someone who leads by example as well as by calling the plays. A good quarterback camp will focus on the mental aspects of being QB as well as the physical. QB camps that spend time on increasing your ability to see the entire field, anticipate the movement of players, and make split second decisions is one that is going to build your total QB skills.
You’ll also want to find a camp that will teach you some drills and workouts that are designed specifically for QBs. General strength training is good for all athletes, but QBs will need different strengths than linebackers or receivers. Good QB camps will teach you the drills and workouts you’ll need to strengthen these muscles. The best part of this type of training is that it gives you something you can continue to work on after camp is over, allowing you to continue your growth and development as a QB and a player for the rest of your career, the youth football camps in PA strictly follow this type of training.
Quarterback Camps and Recruiting

Some camps will also offer classes on how to promote yourself to colleges, including how to make a highlights DVD, how to approach coaches, and the types of things that recruiters look for in potential players.
