Showcase Camp
Step It Up Showcase Camps are different than most. In addition to building an individual database for every player that includes height, weight, picture, 40-time, shuttle and 3-Cone drill, Step It Up provides the opportunity for our campers to learn from some of the best and to compete against
some of the best. At our Showcase Camps we provide our campers with a tremendous
opportunity to gain college exposure through actual football-related
drills and competitions. On top of that, top performers at each of our camps will receive an invitation to our National Elite Camp in July (more information can be found below).

There are many reasons why a
high school player would attend an SIU Camp. Whether you’re a
rising senior who just made your All-State team and want to showcase
your skills to gain exposure to college programs or you’re a rising
freshman who will be looking to gain a competitive edge by learning
new techniques, SIU Camps are for everyone. SIU Campers will work
with a highly-trained coaching staff, which will feature some former
NFL players, and will have a chance to learn a lot and to compete a
lot. Perhaps best of all, Step It Up will invite players at each event
to our NATIONAL ELITE CAMP in
July. You don’t want to miss out on that
opportunity!
WHAT TAKES PLACE AT A STEP IT UP SHOWCASE CAMP?
The Camp is broken into two parts: the first part will consist of four testing stations - 40-time (hand held), standing broad jump, shuttle run and 3-Cone drill.
In addition to those four stations, SIU will take your hight, weight and picture prior to the start of the camp.
All the results will be posted on Step It Up's website and mailed to every college program in America, along with your contact information. There’s no better way to get your information in front of college coaches from across America. In addition, scouts from media outlets such as Scout.com, Rivals.com, 247 Sports.com, and other local newspapers will be invited to cover the event. They’ll be encouraged to write about the top performers so coaches and fans all across the country can read about it.
The
base cost to attend is $40.
For players from high schools who send three or more players, the
cost is just $35 and for 10+ players the cost is only $25. That means some players could end up paying just $25 to
receive a tremendous experience, quality exposure to
college programs everywhere, and an invitation to our NATIONAL EITE CAMP in July.
HOW CAN I REGISTER FOR ONE?
Pre-registration is very simple. Click
on the REGISTRATION tab at the top and fill out the form. You will be
added to the list for express check in at the event. Players may also register and pay at the event
when they check in.
CAN
I ATTEND A CAMP WITHOUT PRE-REGISTERING?
Yes.
Pre-registration simply makes things a little easier on our end and
helps you save on the cost of the event. However, walk-up
registrations are definitely welcomed and encouraged and many players
will choose to do that.
WHAT
ARE THE 2013 DATES AND LOCATIONS?

WHO
CAN PARTICIPATE?
Any high school football player who has the
desire to compete against other high school players, to learn from
top notch coaches, to play at the college level, or simply wants to
enjoy the experience of the event.
WHAT
HAPPENS IF I’M ONE OF THE TOP PERFORMERS?
Individual
trophy awards are given to the overall MVP, Fastest Man,
and to the top performer at each position, as voted by the SIU staff
and the coaches working the event. That will provide a tremendous
opportunity for various media outlets to write about those players in
the days immediately following the event. College coaches from across
the country will have access to read about those performers.
WHAT
IS THE ELITE NATIONAL CAMP?
Some
of the top performers from each camp will be invited, in July, to our Step It Up National Elite Camp, which will be a
blockbuster recruiting showcase event featuring top players from
around the entire country. The Step It Up National Elite Camp will be an incredible showcase opportunity
and a weekend of memories that will last a lifetime.
WHAT
SHOULD I WEAR TO THE EVENT?
Bring regular workout clothes and
football cleats.
CAN
MY COACHES AND PARENTS ATTEND?
Yes.
Parents are encouraged to attend and watch from the stands. Drinks
and refreshments will be available. If any of your high school
coaches are interested in helping work the event for us, please have
them contact us.
WILL
THERE BE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS?
Yes.
We use top of the line facilities and always have medical personnel
on site.
