FBU CAMP FAQ

FBU Camps are open to current 5th-11th grade athletes. (2034-2028)

FBU Camps are developmental in nature. Our mission at every camp is that every athletes walks out of camp a better player than when they walked in. Athletes will be coached by position-specific coaches who have NCAA/NFL Experience who will provide athletes with individual install periods, fundamental and advanced drills, and a written evaluation with an overview of the athlete's performance from the day and tips to improve in the future. 

All athletes in attendance will also receive verified combine testing by the UC Report as well as competitive reps in a 1 on 1, 5 on 5, and 7v7 format.

Every single athlete who attends an FBU Camp can earn an invite to marquee events. All of the following invitations are possible to receive at 2027 FBU Regional Camps. The FBU Top Gun Showcase is where over 75% of invites for the All-American Bowls and Games will be given out.

• FBU Top Gun Showcase | All Grad Classes
• Navy National Combine | 2029 & 2030
• FBU Freshman All American Bowl | 2031
• UA Next 8th Grade All-American Game | 2032
• FBU 7th Grade All-American Bowl | 2033
• FBU Middle School National Championship | 2034-2032

Due to how we evaluate athletes for the awards listed above and due to the fast-paced nature of our camps, we ask that you stick to one position at your FBU regional camp. If you would like to showcase your secondary position, you may register for another FBU camp at that position. 

Camp registrations will close once a position group is full. We recommend registering as soon as possible to avoid missing your spot.
