Everyone has so many things going on over the summer.  There are family vacations, team camps, individual camps, perhaps a college campus visit.  The economy is also going to impact this summers activities.  Rising fuel costs are impacting everything we buy.  What to do?

You have to have options and you have to be realistic.  We realize that athletic programs are going to be experiencing great cut backs this year and as a coach, I realize that if you can only do one camp it better be a team camp.  Belt tightening is one way to cope, another is to plan ahead.  Budgets are going to need a closer look this coming season with an eye to next years wants and needs.  Start now looking at fundrasing options and scheduling them out over greater lenghts of time.  Check out LinemenInc’s Fundraising page for some ideas.  Don’t wait until the last minute and find yourself short.   

If you just can’t afford the cost or the time for LinemenInc’s three day contact camp here’s an option for you.  The San Francisco 49ers one day OL/DL Camp.  This is a non-contact camp incorporating both classroom training and on-field training.  Attendees will receive 2 preseason tickets to a 49ers game, a camp T-shirt, lunch and interaction with current and alumni 49er players.  Total cost is only $75 and the camp is held at the 49ers training facility in Santa Clara.  I’ve placed a link to their web site below.  Obviously, we’re hoping to see you at LinemenInc but a guy’s gotta have options.
