2010 Midwest Elite Football Exposure Camp Questions and Answers

When is the 2010 Midwest Elite Football Exposure Camp?

The Midwest Elite Football Exposure Camp will be in May, 2011.

Why is this camp unique?

This camp is unique because it is the only camp in the nation that has high school and junior college players together at the same camp. By having both groups of players we offer college coaches a place to go where there is a huge amount of talent all in one big venue. We are also affiliated with Rivals.com which will help you gain national exposure if you perform well.

What type of athletes are we looking for?

High School and Junior College Players.
We are looking for high school juniors and sophomores that excelled at the varsity level. Most players that attend are All-State, All-Region and All-League performers. Sophomores that started varsity. The junior college players that are unsigned sophomores and freshmen who had a considerable amount of playing time their first year. We have JC All-Americans and All-League performers.

Why do we have the high school and junior college players together at the same camp?

We have both groups of players because the high school athletes and the junior college players are both trying to be seen by college coaches. This is also the only place a junior college player can go to unless they go to California. It makes our camp different from the other camps out there and it is very appealing to the college coaches when they attend. This is why we have averaged 50+ college coaches each year.

How do you get an invitation for the camp?

You must fill out the registration form on the website and we will reply back to you letting you know if you will be invited. We also send out invitations to athletes that have made honors in their area. You can also be invited on a recommendation from your coach.

Your contact information will also be provided with a report of all the athletes that performed well.

What College Coaches will be in attendance?

The NCAA Division 2 & 3 coaches along with NAIA college coaches. If there is a way to get exposure to college coaches you need to take advantage of every opportunity to be seen.

How much does the camp cost to attend?

$65

What will I need to bring to the camp?

All athletes will need to bring a helmet for the competitive drills. Players will wear shorts and we will provide a jersey for each athlete. Shoes that are suitable for Field Turf. I would bring a couple of different pairs so you can test the surface once you get there.

Is there a hotel in the area that will provide a discount to us?

We have arrangements with two hotels that are both located near the Total Sports Complex. See the Hotels page to Phone #’s. Just let them know you are with the Midwest Elite Football Camp to receive a discounted price.

Will the College Coaches get our information?

We try and do as much of the legwork as possible for College Coaches gathering your information. It is free for the college coaches to attend and free for all the results. We will also send the results out to colleges across the country that are not in attendance. The college coaches will have a roster of all the players attending. They will also get free access to our Player Database that includes each athlete’s awards, statistics, contact information (Address, Home #, Cell # and Email). We are videotaping the event so college coaches will be able to watch all the competitive drills.

How did the 2006 Combine go at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis?

We had over 400 athletes and 65+ college coaches attend. There were over 225 All-State athletes and another 150 athletes that made at least All-League honors.

How does the Midwest Elite Football Combine compare to NATS?

NATS does only combine testing drills and no Position and 1 on 1 Drills. They do not have college coaches in attendance at their events.

Are you able to register and pay at the door?

No. You must register and pay prior to the day of the camp. We do this because we have a roster that is available to college coaches the day of the event and our staff needs to know exactly how many athletes are participating in order to be organized for the day and for us to have a successful camp.

How do I pay for the camp?

Once you are accepted you must send in a Money Order for $65 made payable to Midwest Elite Football. We do not accept personal checks. Money Orders can be obtained at your local Post Office.

Do I need a helmet for this camp?

Yes. Everyone is required to wear a helmet for this camp. We do not have helmet rentals the day of the event.
