From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the National Football League, NFL Training Camp refers to the time before the season commences. During this time, teams will sometimes congregate at an outside location, usually a university, to conduct training camp for at least the first few weeks. This is similar to baseball's spring training.
Training camp is used in several different ways. New players and coaches use it to acclimate themselves to new teammates and new systems. Young players use the time to prove that they can become starters. Veterans use the time to prove they can still handle the workload.
Training camp is divided into several different components. The first is scrimages. These are pseudo-games where players plays what amounts to close to full games. Sometimes, two scrimages are played on the same day. These are referred to as two-a-days. Other parts of training camp include drills, meetings with coaches and other members of your position, weight training and pre-season games.
