"I spent a lot of time at football camps trying to become the best football player I could. It allowed me to develop skills at a young age and build the base for where I am now. RAW is one of the premiere camps that helped me get where I am today. The first hand knowledge of skills, to not only play but excel creates a strong foundation for more advanced skills learned along the way."

RECEIVER - CALGARY STAMPEDERS
"RAW Sports provided me with the opportunity to get a head start and develop my skills at a young age. Teaching technique and skill each and every day to better their athletes. Not only did they teach the physical side of the game, they took the time to teach the mental side of the game; something that is just as important, if not more. They create an environment of competition, instilling work-ethic and discipline in their athletes."

"Amateur football in Calgary has produced some of the best football players in the country. This is because many aspiring athletes have access to premium football training programs like RAW sports. The fundamentals that athletes are exposed to at RAW Sports allows them to reach their ultimate potential. The knowledge and expertise shared from coaches that have come from the same communities as the players, enable them to see first hand their dreams can be made into reality.

RAW Sports is the real deal, Robbie and Anthony have surrounded the program with quality coaches who have many years of pro experience under their belts. The combination of intense lifting sessions and competitive running sessions give you the best of both worlds.

I am so excited to get my opportunity to play at the University level because I know RAW will get me right!

"RAW Sports has served as a great tool in honing my skill as a football player. It has helped set a solid foundation for football fundamentals and making me the player I am today.

TAYLOR DOYLE

"The RAW sports family has been a huge supporter of where I am with football today. This camp taught me many of the fundamental skills needed to play football at a higher level. These coaches truly devote their time and efforts into not only developing young elite football players, but also molding every athlete into fine young men and women. Football is not just a game, it is a community, a family and a sense of belonging. The coaches at RAW sports make that very clear from the beginning."
JOSHUA DU PLESSIS
FULLBACK - UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA
"RAW Sports is hands down one of the best training programs available for athletes looking to take their game to the next level. As professional athletes, Anthony and Robbie utilize their knowledge to develop an outstanding program for hungry football players. The training is intense and challenges you to achieve new athletic heights. Beyond exceptional coaching, they intentionally get to know each of their athletes and coach them on an individual basis. Anthony and Robbie were always giving me various coaching points, while motivating me to become the best football player I could be. As I trained with RAW, they instilled a tremendous sense of confidence in my own abilities and passion for the game of football. Anthony and Robbie are more than just coaches, they are mentors: people who you look up to and strive to become. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to continue training with them as I pursue my University football career."

"RAW worked with me and developed me from both a physical and mental side, they helped me understand the game and then coached me on how to apply that knowledge on the field. The camps made a world of difference in the trajectory of my career. Tony, Anthony and Robbie without a doubt run one of, if not the best football camps in Canada. I truly can't say enough good things about the Woodson's and highly recommend the RAW camps."
KARSON MOROZ
CALGARY DINOS
"RAW sports has continued to help me throughout my journey in more ways than one. Their experienced coaching staff pushes you to your limits through detailed programming, support, and encouragement. Their advice throughout my recruitment process was invaluable and created a sense of control while on my wild ride into the world of university Football. Most of all they smoothed the transitions between different levels of the game. Preparation is key for every season but especially when jumping up to a higher level. There will always be a gap between where you are now and where you need to be. R.A.W sports and their coaching staff will make sure you are as mentally and physically prepared as you possibly can to overcome that gap. I and many other athletes are proud to call ourselves R.A.W athletes for a reason, it’s not only a training program or a spring camp, it’s a family."
JUSTIN VERLOOP
CALGARY COLTS
"Hi, my name is Justin Verloop. I currently play quarterback for the Calgary Colts. I have been part of the RAW Sports family for the past 11 years. Through- out the years I have learned many valuable lessons that have helped me in both football and in life. RAW Sports is a great program. It is a huge part of who I am today. They instill the values of hard work, teamwork, and perseverance. In my junior year of high school, I tore my ACL. Anthony and Robbie and the RAW team helped me both mentally and physically recover and prepare me to get back on the field. Anthony and Robbie push all their athletes to become the best version of themselves on and off the field. I am grateful to be part of the RAW family.
SIMON KING
WESTERN MUSTANGS
"The Raw organization is composed of some of the most genuine and intelligent people around. It’s safe to say that I couldn’t have been the player I am on the field and the person I am off the field without Raw. Not only do they teach the the essential fundamentals of football and weight training but they teach character at the same time. The Woodson brothers have created a platform that allows them to share their experience and expertise to up and coming athletes that want to bring their game to the next level. If football is your passions and you want to make the most out it, then I suggest you learn from the best to perfect your craft. Raw is a great way to level up your game but it is also a community of accomplished athletes and individuals who will always put the athletes goals and aspirations first and encourage hard work and discipline to achieve them. I would highly recommend joining the Raw community if football is something you love and you are willing to grow and progress in the sport. The best in the business."
WILL MELOFF-DRIVER

"RAW has been the most influential part of my football career so far. The Woodson’s have built an incredible program through their own experiences in the game. These camps have elevated my game both mentally and physically and the results have shown on and off the field. They give all the skills and advice a young player needs to succeed in the game of football."
RYAN BROCKWAY
MOUNT ALLISION
"I wouldn’t be where I am today without RAW Sports. Before joining raw I used to rely on my athleticism to succeed on the field. Since joining raw I have added a lot of size and can hold my own with anyone I encounter on the field. I’ve gotten a lot stronger, a lot faster and a lot quicker. I worked with Robert Woodson and he pushed me everyday to get better and made sure I got better. Thanks to Raw Sports I was able to commit to Mount Allison University to continue my football career. I give a huge thanks to Raw Sports for helping me get to where I am and I can’t wait to continue to work with them."
JAXON VANDENBERGHE
University of Alberta Bears
"RAW Sports has helped me develop into the player, and the person I am today. I have learned things I can integrate into my everyday life to become a better person. Learning about things like effort and responsibility are key things I’ve learned from football that I can take everywhere in my “toolbox”. The experience and high-level play from the coaches help you realize that this is some of the best coaching you can get in the offseason. Another piece of Raw is the family aspect you get from it. Everyone is there together to get better and you get to meet new people as well as work against some other top competitors in the city. They mix in some fun with all the hard work to make every session enjoyable as well as give you a feeling that you are getting better. Almost all my thanks go to raw for the player I am, as well as the man I am today."
SHOHEI FUJITA
ACADIA AXEMEN
“I attended Red Deer Summer Camp going into my senior year. Competitive drills against players from the rival schools that you will play against in the fall help check what level you are at going into the off-season. Film sessions by the coaches with great knowledge help learn from the mistakes you have just made in practice.
If you want to know how to “ work” and make a difference to others, Raw Sports is where it’s at!! #ironsharpensiron“
