| I am a former NFL Quarterback that was an 8th | | | | drops, and the release. |
| round draft choice by the Buffalo Bills in 1980, and | | | | Once these basic fundamentals are covered the |
| today I want to talk about Quarterback Camps. | | | | passing camps start to teach passing drills. |
| I got a phone call from a father who had a son | | | | I personally know of 36 different quarterback |
| and was looking for a Passing Camp, and he | | | | passing drills that you can practice on. |
| wanted to know if I might be able to recommend | | | | Some of the Quarterback practice drills are: |
| a QB Camp? | | | | 1. The Elway Scrabble Drill |
| So after doing some Google research and making | | | | 2. The Garbage Can Drill |
| some phone calls, there are over 10 Quarterback | | | | 3. The Goal Post Drill |
| camps that I found that looked interesting. | | | | 4. The Quick Feet Drill |
| Some are location based, i.e. just one location, | | | | 5. Long Ball Drill |
| some are regional and some are national. | | | | Most quarterback drills cover four major |
| They all seemed to offer similar quarterback | | | | categories: |
| training. | | | | Quarterback Fundamentals |
| They all start with the Quarterback center | | | | Quarterback Footwork |
| exchange and stance. And work into the different | | | | Quarterback Passing Accuracy |
| drops and footwork needed. | | | | Developing Quarterback Arm Strength |
| Most teach the all the different types of drops | | | | Some of the higher priced Camps will also cover |
| and throws that all Quarterbacks must learn. | | | | quarterback defense reads techniques and actual |
| The 3, 5, 7 step drop plus shotgun. Most also go | | | | film room study. |
| over the typical quarterback passing tree. | | | | Most of the Quarterback camps that I found |
| These are the routes and throws that all | | | | during my search were in the price range of |
| quarterbacks will be making in a game. | | | | $149-$249 for a 1 day quarterback camp to the |
| For 3 step drops the passing routes will be: Quick | | | | top of the line 3-4 days quarterback camp costing |
| Slant, Quick Out, Hitch, Slip Screen. | | | | $399-$699. |
| For the 5 step drop the passing routes are: curl, | | | | For those of you parents or football players that |
| 10 yard out, 10 yard in, Quick Post. | | | | can't afford that or have time constraints you can |
| For the 7 step drop or shotgun the throws that | | | | find the same information taught at these football |
| are taught are: the deep out, the comeback, the | | | | camps on Quarterback Training DVD's at half the |
| deep in or dig route, the post, and the go route. | | | | price usually under $80.00!!! |
| From there most progress to work with | | | | If you were like me, I always wanted to get my |
| quarterback passing mechanics. The football grip, | | | | hands on any type of quarterback training that |
| the football position while you are doing your | | | | might help me to get better. |
