American Revolution hosted their first session of Phenom Camp last week in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania just southwest of Pittsburgh.
Phenom Camp shifted the focus back to education for the first two sessions to ensure players were learning new techniques and what college coaches expect of them on a daily basis.
Athletes from the 2015, 2016, and 2017 graduating classes representing Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Illinois spent two days working with coaches from:
- Bellarmine D1
- North Carolina D1
- Rutgers D1
- Vermont D1
- Endicott D3
- Franklin & Marshall D3
- Johnson & Wales Providence D3
- Bates D3
- Denison D3
- Western New England D3
The final day of camp featured a game, which attracted an additional wave of coaches from:
- Robert Morris D1
- Lincoln Memorial D2
- North Greenville D2
- Baldwin Wallace D3
- Capital D3
- Defiance D3
- Franciscan D3
- Hiram D3
- Houghton D3
- Kenyon D3
- Misericordia D3
- Oberlin D3
- Thiel D3
- Indiana MCLA
The showcase day, as well as all instruction periods, took place on one field to guarantee exposure. There was no where to hide.
Phenom Camps guarantee education and exposure due to a limited number of athletes, college coaches hired to work the camps, and smaller venues.
