How our Shells concept has revolutionized the RAW football camp experience.

Maximizing the benefits of equipment while minimizing the risk of injury.

In 2016, we introduced the ‘Shells’ concept at our contact football camps. At a ‘Shells’ camp, players wear a helmet, shoulder pads, and shorts, and the camp operates at a THUD contact level. This concept allow our players to receive almost all of the benefits of training in full pads, while minimizing their injury risk.

We believe that player’s offseason should consist of training that reflects what they will be asked to do during the season. While non-contact camps, strength & conditioning programs, and combines are all important, ‘Shells’ footballs provides players with the most realistic and dynamic training experience available.

Our ‘Shells’ concept allows us to teach players skills & concepts like how to tackle properly and safely, how to block & shed blocks, how to use leverage to win 1-on-1 matchups, and much more! It also provides newer players with the opportunity to get acclimated to running, catching, throwing, etc. with football pads before getting into their season.

This summer, we will be implementing our shells football concept at our: Edmonton football camp, Red Deer football camp, Kelowna football camp, Abbotsford football camp, Lethbridge football camp, and our Calgary one week football camp.

Check out a few of the drills that we implement at our ‘Shells’ camps below:
