10TH ANNUAL ED McCAFFREY FOOTBALL CAMP SET FOR JUNE 27-30, 2011
Registration Now Open at www.EdMcCaffrey.com for McCaffrey’s
Long-Running Youth Football Camp at Valor Christian High School
DENVER—Former All-Pro wide receiver and three-time Super Bowl champion Ed McCaffrey today announced the dates for the 10th Annual Ed McCaffrey Football Camp at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo. (3775 E. Grace Blvd., 80126). The youth football camp, for kids between the ages of 8 and 15, is scheduled for June 27-30, 2011. Participants may register by visiting www.EdMcCaffrey.com.
The Ed McCaffrey Football Camp will once again feature two sessions to cater to all skill and experience levels. The Open Camp will run from 8:30-11:30 a.m. each day, and the Elite Camp–which is position-specific and designed for the older, more experienced player—runs from 12:30-3:30 p.m.
The youth football camp includes football skills and speed training from some of the very best NFL, collegiate and high school coaches in the country. Former coaches and celebrity speakers include NFL greats Rod Smith, John Lynch, Mark Schlereth, Karl Mecklenburg, Chad Brown, Steve Beuerlein, Gus Frerotte, Justin Armour and Trevor Pryce among others.
“We are assembling another high-caliber roster of coaches to teach our young campers about the great game of football,” McCaffrey says. “The skills we teach have been used by Pro Bowler players, Super Bowl champions and Hall of Famers.”
The Ed McCaffrey Football Camp offers far more than mere Xs and Os. Guest speakers are a big part of each day’s agenda, covering topics such as The Mental Edge, Making Good Choices and Healthy Living. McCaffrey describes the camp’s goals as follows: “While we pride ourselves on the success of our campers, as coaches our aim is to motivate and inspire every camper at every level to make the most of their unique talents and abilities on the field and in life.”
Campers will receive football skills training from top notch coaches including current and former NFL players, and speed and agility training from sports performance professionals. Participants will also enjoy 7-on-7 competition throughout the week and the opportunity to gauge their skills during the “Youth Combine,” modeled after the NFL’s pre-draft Scouting Combine.
The camp culminates with an autograph session by Ed and his fellow NFL and college players and coaches, who thoroughly enjoy sharing with future generations of youth football players what they know about the great game of football.

About Ed McCaffrey:
Ed McCaffrey established himself as one of the game’s winningest and most outstanding wide receivers during his 13-year career in the National Football League. He won three Super Bowl rings in Super Bowls XXIX, XXXII and XXXIII and was selected to start in the 1998 Pro Bowl. In Denver he set a then-Broncos record for most receptions in a season with 101 catches in 2000. McCaffrey retired in 2004 as one of just 31 players in NFL history to win a Super Bowl with two different teams (S.F. & Denver), and one of only 13 to win one in each conference. He entered the NFL in 1991 as a third-round draft choice of the New York Giants (No. 83 overall) out of Stanford.
