Wishbone Camp @ UWRF - July 13-16, 2008 - Cost: $270

We are offering our 35th Wishbone Camp again this summer at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. We led the Wisconsin State University Conference in rushing from 1974 - 2005 and NCAA Div. III in 1989, 1992, 1994, 1997 and 1998.

Our staff, along with other high school wishbone coaches will teach the fundamentals of this great offense.

We are running the UW-River Falls Wishbone Camp on the same dates as the O & D Camp. This adds an extra day to the Wishbone Camp. The organization of this camp will be the same as it has been in the past. Both camps will be run independently in terms of offensive installation.

The Staff...UW-River Falls' rushing statistics speak for themselves. Get the finest instruction from one of the top ground-gaining programs in all of Div. III football.
