Regional Development Camps are first step to National Team program
Want to be a member of the U.S. National Teams Program and play for your country?
The first step to the process – Regional Development Camps – begin in two weeks as USA Football travels the country searching for the right players to wear red, white and blue in 2015.
Regional Development Camps – open to athletes of all skill levels – feature two days of competition, including individual drills, 1-on-1 training and 7-on-7 situations. This includes the opportunity to train with and learn from current NCAA coaches and former NFL players and coaches.
All athletes and families will attend a variety of off-the-field player development sessions during the event. Player development sessions will feature former NFL players and coaches addressing the crowd on a range of topics, including Heads Up Football and the importance of leadership and character development.
Regional Development Camp athletes are provided with a written evaluation by USA Football's National Team scouts, all of whom have NFL or college scouting experience. This will include an evaluation grade as well as the player's strengths and weaknesses which will help the athlete to improve his skills going forward.
Select Regional Development Camp players will be invited to take part in U.S. National Team Development Games presented by Shock Doctor, a weeklong event in full pads in which players are divided into teams and play Jamborees and full games.
Following the Development Games, athletes are eligible to be selected for National Teams and compete against other nations in the International Bowl and other worldwide events.
