2025 PLU Football Gridiron Team Camp

Date: June 20-23, 2025

THE BASICS

 

PLU Football has partnered with Steve Gervais Academy for our 3rd PLU Football Gridiron Team Camp.

 

Head PLU Coach, Brant McAdams, has been coaching small college football for 20 years with the last 7
years leading the PLU Football program. Coach Steve Gervais is a native of the State of Washington and has coached high school football for over 30 years and was an assistant coach for one year at the
University of Washington.

 

Together, they are excited to host a Washington State High School Football team camp that allows the player's skills to be improved by their HS coach in an atmosphere where team unity, attitude, and belief can be developed in the critical summer months heading into the fall season.

 

This was the basis of the Gridiron Team Camp that Steve Gervais started 12 years ago and has been
brought to PLU in partnership with the Lutes football program. The goal is to enable both the coaches and individual athletes to develop team skills and the mental edge to compete for a championship season.

 

The PLU Football Gridiron Team Camp is a full-contact camp for high school football programs. PLU Football will be hosting the 2025 Team Camp at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash.

 

This year’s camp will commence on Friday, June 20, 2025 and end on Monday, June 23, 2025. Teams will either be staying overnight in campus housing or will be commuting from their respective schools. Campers and staff will take meals in the Commons Dining Hall and daily meals are included in the cost of the camp.

 

Monday, June 23rd, is the final day and scrimmages will begin at 9:30 am and end at 11:30 am. Families and friends are invited to attend! Dorm checkout immediately after.

 

ON THE FIELD

 

Throughout the camp, individual instruction will be provided by the athlete’s high school coaching staff. This allows the coaches from each high school to maximize the time spent with their team members---teaching fundamentals and skills that best suit their own athletes.

 

Following individual instruction, each team will be involved in a team session. During this time, teams will have an opportunity to compete and scrimmage against one another at a scrimmage tempo agreed upon between both head coaches.

​

AFTER PRACTICE

 

Certified athletic trainers will be on site for all practices and will be available to assist athletes 24 hours per day.

 

Evening activities include: 7-on-7 competitions, lineman challenges and team building activities.

 

LOGISTICS

 

Resident campers will not be permitted to leave camp at any time except by permission of the Camp Director and their Head Coach. At the conclusion of the final day of camp, athletes and coaches will return to pack, clean and check out of their dorm. A staffer must approve your room for damage assessment and confirm that all keys are turned in. There is a $100 Lost Key charge and any room damage cost will be discussed with camp staff, player(s) and Head Coach to determine course of action.
