National Overnight Camp is open to 4th graders – college students. We make exceptions for younger students who are serious about the faceoff position and eager to learn. This is our premier event of the year, allowing us to provide our students with the most rigorous and in-depth program offered. Students will not only be schooled on all aspects of the faceoff position from a technical standpoint, but we will also spend a significant amount of time competing and working on improving their confidence as well. This event will feature a staff composed of some of the games best at the college and professional levels. We will take live reps during each session. All of these will be added to a folder for students to review during and after camp.
Although the face-off concludes within seconds, it is one of the most imperative aspects of the game. This overnight event will allow the coaches to teach, correct, and improve the player’s mind and techniques surrounding the face-off position. Students will be taught several techniques, counters, and skills associated with the face-off position through repetition on the field. Students will also be taught how to analyze and dissect all face-off situations through our evening film study sessions. We will also spend a significant amount of time enforcing and teaching the NCAA FO rules. Film study has become a core element of our coaching philosophy. We will be watching films from various professional and college games to reinforce our teaching and to reinforce our philosophy that each face-off student is unique in their own regard.
In part with high-level competition amongst elite players from across the country, the most valuable tool will be the player’s accessibility to the coaches. Face-off Factory’s signature competition will take place on the final day of camp. Players will be placed in brackets and seeded based on their ages and performance during competition throughout our preliminary days of camp. The tournament will be a double-elimination style to determine our Face-off Factory National Overnight Champions.
Players will be filmed and evaluated throughout the day. The players will work together, in small groups based on age, skill, and request, through stations to ensure the right level of instruction and supervision. The training days will focus on building the complete face-off midfielder, including techniques, strategy, ground balls, alternative moves and counters, and film study.
Our Youth Division at Camp will mainly focus on the following:
