Physical Fitness Guidelines: Fantasy Camp is meant to be fun! That being said, we want to try and avoid injuries and preparation is the key! Although no playing experience is necessary, here are a few pointers to take note of. These are just suggestions and in no way are a requirement.
- Prepare your body for an active week by beginning a training program prior to your arrival. Make sure to stretch and strengthen your legs and arm. Try doing a few wind sprints, take a 30 minute jog, or even take walks a couple of times a week to build your endurance. Keeping your legs in shape will also help with your power and arm strength. We do not expect campers to show up like they are ready for the NFL combine. Everyone has limitations on their physical ability and in no way should you feel unprepared or worried that you will not enjoy your week if you are not in top physical form. Again, the above are just suggestions and in no way a requirement for attending camp.
Average Camper Age: The minimum age to participate in the fantasy camp is 25. The age of fantasy campers around the league usually ranges between 35- 65. Regardless of age each camper has an opportunity to play daily.
