Elite Camp
Three days in Calgary with the best staff RAW puts on a field all year. A full pro-style combine, real compete reps against the top athletes in the country, and university coaches and recruiters coaching them through it all.
They leave better. And they leave known.
RAW Elite is our most prestigious invite-only camp, bringing together top athletes from across the country for a unique opportunity to develop, compete, and be seen at the next level. Athletes are coached directly by leading university coaches and recruiters, the same coaches who evaluate and recommend prospective players for their programs, giving them more than just exposure, but a real opportunity to learn, build relationships, and show how they respond to coaching. With high-level position-specific development, competition against other top athletes, a verified combine, and a personalized RAW recruiting profile featuring official testing numbers and player information, RAW Elite is built to help athletes take the next step in their development and recruiting journey.
Your Group and Your Times
Athletes are split into two groups. Each group has its own times on all three days, and your athlete stays in the same group the whole weekend.
5:00 – 7:00 PM · WinSport
8:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Villains Dome
8:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Villains Dome
7:00 – 9:00 PM · WinSport
11:00 AM – 6:00 PM · Villains Dome
11:00 AM – 6:00 PM · Villains Dome
Groups go by grade for the 2026/27 school year. Some grade 10 athletes are moved up into the 11–12 group based on their evaluation, so a grade 10 could land in either one.
Doors open 30 minutes before every session for check-in.
Development First, Exposure Second
This is a development camp. Every hour is spent making your athlete better. The recruiting attention is real, but it comes out of the work — not the other way around.
- ▪The coaches are the evaluators. The staff running your athlete’s position group are the same people building the recruiting board. They speak about your athlete from three days of coaching them, not from a highlight tape.
- ▪Time with university coaches. We set aside time for coaches and scouts to talk with the athletes about what they are looking for in recruits, and to tell them more about their programs.
- ▪University scouts are there all weekend. They come to watch and to talk to athletes. Programs are announced as they confirm.
Scouts attend to evaluate. No offers or placements are promised as part of registration.
The Three Days
Two hours of testing. Height and weight officially measured, 40-yard dash, 5-10-5 pro agility shuttle, vertical jump, broad jump, bench press, and a profile photo taken on site.
Every number and photo goes into the RAW athlete database under your athlete’s profile.
- ▪Positional work with your position coaches
- ▪Install and walkthrough with the coordinators
- ▪Movement mechanics — sprinting, cutting, deceleration
- ▪1-on-1s, 2-on-2s, skelly and full team periods
- ▪Coaches correcting on the spot
- ▪Film sessions on how to study tape, including their own reps from camp
- ▪Recruiting board sessions with coaches and scouts, held in a meeting room at Hotel Blackfoot, a three-minute walk from the dome
- ▪Open access to coaches and scouts on the sideline all weekend
Send your athlete with a notebook and a pen.
Sunday finishes with positional MVPs and camp awards at Hotel Blackfoot.
Shells Contact Football
The RAW Elite Camp is run in shells at thud tempo — technique and physicality applied in a controlled, competitive environment. Athletes compete at full speed against elite peers without carrying a December injury into their season.
- ▪Athletes wear a helmet, shoulder pads and shorts. No football pants, girdles or hip pads.
- ▪Players go full speed up to the point of contact, and then it stops.
- ▪That applies to 1-on-1s, skelly and team period alike. There are no exceptions.
- ▪Coaches referee tempo closely. Any athlete who takes a rep past thud is pulled and corrected.
Your athlete competes hard, gets evaluated on real reps, and goes home healthy.
