Johnathan Joseph, Cornerback, Houston Texans — “Fundamentals and techniques are a big emphasis at camp along, with basic and advanced concepts about football.”

Coach Mark Jordon, Commerce, TX – “Great Camp! Great Staff! This is the Cadillac of football camps, top to bottom! Without question, the best football camp I have been associated with in 20 years.

Dennis Johnson, Former Running Back, Houston Texans — “The professionals on-site help campers improve their craft and get to where they want to be.”

Trevardo Williams, Former Linebacker, Houston Texans – What I enjoyed the most about the camp was being able to get involved and intervene with the players in football practices as well as sharing experiences.”

Coach Brian J. Mayper, Laamar University, Brownwood, TX – “What a great experience and opportunity for not only the players that attend, but also for the coaches that coach them. I still have several high school players from camp stop by to ask me questions. The camp provides a high school player the opportunity to be coached by several of the finest college coaches in football.”

Coach Roland Rodriguez, Milsaps College, San Antonio, TX – “The camp is a great camp! As a coach, I appreciate the camp’s emphasis on the fundamentals of the game. It has the best daily camp practice schedule that I have seen. The camper’s have fun while they learn the great game of football.”

Jimmy P., Houston, Texas – “Three years ago when my son started attending Sports International Camps. Not only did he get some of the best training he has ever had, but the time and attention that is given to each athlete is remarkable! The coaching staff really cares for each boy, they become friends with the campers so fast. I promise that your son is in great hands when he is in this football camp.”

Scott M., Dumas, TX – “The camp is the best camp Chris has attended! The players that attend this camp gain an incredible edge on their opponents because the coaching staff is outstanding! The entire camp experience is the best thing I could have done for my son.”

• Mercilus attended Garfield High School in Akron, Ohio, where he played defensive end and tight end for the Garfield Rams, earning Northeast Ohio Inland All-Star team, Cleveland Plain-Dealer Defensive All-Star team and All-District honors.

Whitney Mercilus Career Highlights

Accommodations & Meals at the University of HoustonThe University of Houston is located in Houston, TX, the nation’s fourth-largest city. The beautiful campus, home to the Cougars, will provide not only a superior athletic experience, but a fun, comfortable, and relaxing stay. All campers will stay in Cougar Village, an air conditioned dormitory on campus where each room includes a twin bed, desk, chair, dresser, and closet or wardrobe. The housing accommodations are adjacent to the cafeteria where campers will enjoy all-you-can-eat meals throughout their stay. Campers will be bussed to a nearby location. More information can be found on our website, www.footballcamps.com.

• Mercilus went on to play at the University of Illinois from 2009-2011, where he was recognized as a unanimous All-American during his junior season, leading the country in quarterback sacks (16) and forced fumbles (9). Mercilus was named a first-team All-Big Ten selection by both the coaches and media, and also won the 2011 Ted Hendricks Award, 2011 Bill Willis Award, and 2011 CFPA Defensive Performer of the Year.

• With five sacks in 2014, Mercilus moved into fifth place on the franchise’s all-time sacks list in just three seasons, with 18 career sacks.

• In 2015, Mercilus finished tied for sixth in the NFL sacks, also recording 52 total tackles, a forced fumble and two passes defended.

• “I really can’t say enough about Whitney Mercilus,” head coach Bill O’Brien said after a game. “I mean, he practices every snap in practice. He takes some scout team reps because we were a little bit thin at linebacker. Then, he goes in the game and he’s played better and better every game. He’s a great guy, a really good teammate, a hardworking guy. He’s just played really well for us this year and I think that was what I saw out there from the sideline.”

We guarantee there will be Houston Texans at the Whitney Mercilus \ Alfred Blue Football Camp.

From 2011–2015 we had over 300 current and former professional players and coaches instruct at our camps. This is more than any other program in the nation! See http://www.footballcamps.com for the list.The sporting world is one area where good relations, high motivation, unity, and interest among young people are easily obtainable. In addition to football, your son will be taught teamwork, consideration of others, self-discipline, and how to attain his potential in sports and life. He will also learn the importance of achieving good grades and selecting the correct role models. The Mercilus / Blue Football Camp will be a very positive stimulus for your son!

Why are these the Best Football Camps in the USA?

Commuter campers will have the option to participate from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or stay until 8:30 p.m. for dinner and the evening practice. Lunch and dinner are included in the commuter tuition.

• The coaching staff will thoroughly train and prepare each player during the entire camp to be a better, more confident football player. With excellent football, recreational and housing facilities, AND top coaches, trainers, and pro players, our goal is to give each camper the finest football instruction available and an experience they will never forget! Parents and relatives are encouraged to attend the final practice and awards ceremony.

• Instruction, lectures, and demonstrations by Whitney and/or Alfred and/or members of the Houston Texans. Campers get the opportunity to learn the same offensive and defensive techniques that the Houston Texans players are taught by coaches in the pros in an encouraging and fun atmosphere. A true football training experience!

• Whitney and Alfred and members of the Houston Texans will get right down in the dirt with you and teach what you need to know!

• Campers learn from outstanding veteran college and high school coaches selected for their ability to coach and teach the game of football. Campers are taught at an approximately 10:1 ratio. This ratio ensures that campers receive individual and team instruction on both offense and defense at camp.

• All Positions. We teach the essential elements of successful football for every offensive and defensive position. The instruction stresses both position-specific and team play. Players select their own offensive and defensive positions.

• Grouping Players. Players are carefully grouped by age, size, experience, and athletic ability.

• All the football a player could want. Campers receive up to 6 hours of instruction each day.

• Outstanding recruiting and scholarship opportunities. The coaching staff for high school age campers is made up primarily of college coaches recruiting for their schools. Each year, several campers go on to play college football. If a high school player wants to play at the college level, the opportunity to meet and work with the college coaches on staff is priceless.

• National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA) There will be an NCSA speaker at selected locations to educate campers on the “5 Things You Need To Know” and the “5 Things You Must Do To Get Recruited”.

• Players learn more than just football at camp. They are taught about teamwork, consideration of others, self-discipline, and how to attain their potential in sports and in life. Players also learn the importance of achieving good grades and selecting correct role models.

• Autographs from members of the Houston Texans. We will suggest holding an organized autograph session when members of the Houston Texans are in camp and they have always been very cooperative. If a player is unavailable for autographs, we should respect their wishes and appreciate the pro player attending and instructing at the camp. We cannot guarantee a camper will receive every guest’s autograph because each guest’s schedule is unique.

• SUPERVISION AND BACKGROUND CHECKS! Safety and security of your son are a concern for Sports International, and therefore, we conduct background checks on all staff, coaches, and father volunteer counselors that attend camp. In addition, there are athletic trainers on duty 24 hours a day to attend to the camper’s needs. On the field, your son is under the watchful eye of our coaching staffing and off the field father counselors are in charge of supervision. In addition, many of the campuses where we hold our programs have campus police and/or security staff.

• Meals Daily buffet style breakfast, lunch, and dinner complete with a large variety of tasty selections for the training athlete. Lunch and dinner only provided for commuters.

• 4 days and 3 nights of housing accommodations on campus. Use of available recreational facilities is included.

• All players receive a free camp t-shirt.

• Eligibility: In accordance with the NCAA regulations and state rules, players that have not enrolled in college are eligible to attend a summer football camp without jeopardizing their athletic eligibility. The Mercilus / Blue Football Camp meets ALL NCAA and state eligibility rules.

• Football Equipment Needed: Helmet, one light and one dark football jersey, shoulder pads, mouth piece, and football shoes. Equipment available to rent for nominal fee.

• Camps are helmets and shoulder pads only. The 4-day camp and 1-Day Specialty Clinic are limited contact, with the required equipment of a helmet and shoulder pads. We believe helmets and shoulder pads during practice are the best way to teach fundamentals, blocking, tackling instruction, form, so players can apply proper posture, footwork, head and hand position in a controlled manner. Limited contact is the perfect median between non-contact and full contact.

• Inclement weather. Participants should be prepared for adverse conditions. The camp will be held regardless of weather. Make-up sessions or refunds will not be offered. The decision to modify the schedule rests solely with the camp director and management.

The size of the Sports International Football Camps allows our staff to separate players by age, size, experience, and athletic ability. When players are not matched up properly, they will experience frustration, failure, and loss of confidence. Accepting campers ages 7-18, the Sports International Football Camps have a very adequate number of players at each age level to not only provide proper match-ups, but to also challenge players and provide a great learning environment during camp. The outstanding coaching staff and learning environment has developed a national reputation for being the best high school, middle school, and youth football camp in the USA!

PROPERLY MATCHING UP PLAYERS IN CAMP

*If you have never played on an organized football team, the Sports International Football Camp is a great opportunity to “give it a try”! Marty Kuser found out you can learn to play football at any age. Marty played soccer through the 10th grade before attending football camp. He attended Wake Forest University on a full scholarship to play football.

High School Level— Beginners* and experienced playersSimply put, our coaching staff’s goal is to help each high school player attain their football goals!

The Sports International Football Camps are considered to be the finest in the nation! We know how to make you a better football player! We will do everything in our power to help anyone from camp play at the college level. Players selected to the “Gridiron Elite” (ages 15–18 only) will have their player profiles forwarded to over 2,500 college football coaches at the DI, DI-AA, DII, DIII, and NAIA level. “Gridiron Elite” members will also receive an award and have their names placed on the Sports International Football Camp Wall of Fame!

Middle School and Jr. High Level— Beginners* and experienced players

Our coaching staff’s goal for this age group is to prepare each player for his team! If you have never played football before or if you are an advanced player, we know how to make you a better football player! The instruction will intensify in all phases of the game as the camp goes on. Each player will receive more advanced technique training each day of camp. Each player will return to their team a much improved football player!

Elementary Level— Beginners* and experienced players

The high school level coaching staff and pros feel they have a great responsibility to this age group. This group is very special and will receive personalized attention and training. Learning proper technique at this age is very important, but our staff never forgets “football is a game.” While still making each practice fun, our veteran coaching staff and pros will step it up a notch each day with more advanced technique training.

For campers that have more experience in this level, coaches will work with players on more advanced technique training on both offense and defense. We take pride in the number of players we have helped to make and contribute to their youth league or team. Our high school level coaching staff and pros will intensify the instruction in all phases of the game with positive, enthusiastic instruction, and more advanced technique training.

Matching Up Players and Gridiron EliteWHITNEY MERCILUS & ALFRED BLUE FOOTBALL CAMP

These players will be selected throughout the camps by the Sports International Camp coaches that coach the high school athletes.

A detailed information packet on top high school players will be sent to over 2,500 college football coaches at DI, DII, DIII, and NAIA schools to help each player receive recognition at the college level. This unique service is very respected by the college coaches. It has enabled hundreds of players to continue their football career. The goal of the Sports International Football Camps is to see that every high school age player receives intense instruction and top competition throughout the camp under the watchful eye of top college coaches. If you would like to play at the college level, this will be an excellent opportunity to receive the best instruction available and be seen by an outstanding lineup of college coaches.

1-Day Specialty Clinic Ages 7 – 18

The 2016 pre-camp 1-Day Specialty Clinic will have elite training instructors featuring hand selected football coaches on staff. The purpose of the 2016 1-Day Specialty Clinic is to give each athlete an opportunity to receive focused, intense position-specific technique training prior to the start of football camp. This concentrated training session will help each camper have a more positive, productive camp experience. Clinic athletes range from age 7 to 18 with instructional squads being separated by age group and skill level to make sure proper instruction is given to each camper.

Lineman, Linebacker, Cornerback, Safety, and Defensive End ClinicThis clinic is designed to give each student athlete an opportunity to receive concentrated work in the position he plans to play during camp and for his home football team. This experience will aid each camper in developing the ability to perform at the peak of his potential. Offensive and Defensive Lineman, Linebacker, Cornerback, Safety and Defensive Ends are some of the most unglamorous positions in football. They are the most unsung positions on the field, but they also contribute the most to the success or failure of every game! Great demands are placed on these positions! If you are going to play one of these positions next fall, you owe it to yourself and your teammates to learn and learn well every skill and technique available for the position you select. Our skilled coaching staff will teach you the skills and techniques needed to be successful during this concentrated training clinic just before camp begins!

Quarterback, Wide Receiver, Running Back, Tight End, and Offensive Lineman ClinicThese are the most skilled positions in football! They demand a great deal of discipline and correct repetition to perfect the skill and techniques necessary to perform at these positions. In most cases when fall practice begins, a football coach simply does not have the time needed to perfect these offensive positions. This clinic will aid each camper in developing the ability to perform at the peak of his potential during camp and when he returns home. Our training techniques guide participants through a skill-learning process where every teaching experience has a purpose. This allows our staff to identify each camper’s personal needs and develop their skills. Our skilled coaching staff will teach you the skills and techniques needed to be successful during this concentrated training clinic just before camp begins!

Our goal is to TEACH, TEACH and TEACH during these clinics!The 2016 1-Day Specialty Clinic is a great opportunity for every athlete that attends to better their football skills and take them to another level as a player. Remember: “When you are not in training, someone somewhere is and when you meet, they will win!”

To be successful, professional players repeatedly practice daily the fundamentals and skills necessary for their individual positions. The 1-Day Specialty Clinic offers players an opportunity to advance their position skills and fundamental techniques going into camp. This program will be held the first day of camp from 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Lunch is included. Campers may attend the 1-Day Specialty Clinic by itself or attend both the 1-Day Specialty Clinic and Whitney Mercilus & Alfred Blue Football Camp.Football equipment needed: Helmet, one light and one dark football jersey, shoulder pads, mouth piece and football shoes. Equipment is available to rent for a nominal fee.Professional Athletes are not scheduled to attend the 1-Day Specialty Clinic.

Keith O’Quinn Passing, Receiving & DB Academy Features

Each player will receive in-depth, comprehensive instruction throughout the academy! Our coaching staff, which will include former Kansas City Chief and New England Patriot, Curtis Jackson, has an extraordinary ability to convey their knowledge of the fundamentals, discipline and mental skills needed for quarterbacks, receivers, tight ends, and defensive backs to be successful at these positions. Our training techniques guide participants through a skill-learning process, where every teaching experience has a purpose. This allows our staff to identify each

player’s personal needs and develop their skills. When they continue to practice at home, they will be able to continue to develop the skills they learned in an order that simulates a game situation. Our goal is to encourage each athlete to continue to “raise the bar” throughout the entire academy. Over 101,000 Sports International athletes have gone through our football programs over the past 32 years. Because of our commitment to individual instruction, Sports International must limit the number of participants. Enrollment is limited! Enroll early!
