Eli, Peyton, Cooper and Archie Manning will visit the University for an eighth summer to host the much-anticipated Manning Passing Academy from July 12 – 15.
The academy will feature about 30 Division I college quarterbacks and NFL players working as camp counselors, Greg Blackwell, director of public relations for the academy, said. Approximately 1,200 eighth graders through high school seniors will head to Thibodaux to gain precious knowledge from these pro athletes.
“This camp allows campers the opportunity to hone their skills and work on the fundamentals and make them better,” Blackwell said.
Over four days, campers will receive expert instruction in the areas of quarterback, wide receiver, running back, tight end, and the spread offense.
Campers will also attend a performance enhancing seminar sponsored by D1 Sports Training and Therapy to increase their speed, strength and agility.
“It doesn’t matter who you are. You will take something home from this camp that you can bring back to your team,” Blackwell said.
