Setting Clear Expectations and Procedures for Camp

The excitement surrounding the beginning of camp has everyone involved ready to run through a wall and get things going. However, camp must begin by setting clear expectations and detailing procedures for all aspects of your program, unit, and position groups to set the stage for success and build the foundation upon which you will operate. In this episode, we gain insight from three coaches on how they clearly define expectations and procedures as they kick off camp. Today’s Coaches: Chris Softley is the head coach of the defending TAPPS 3A state champions at Lubbock Christian School in Lubbock, Texas. Coach Softley was named a 40 under 40 coach by Dave Campbell's Texas Football. Chris Kappas takes over as head coach of Louisville High School in Louisville, Ohio this season. Previously, Kappas was the 2022 AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year and the 2015 Football Scoop D3 Coordinator of the Year. Brett Arkelian is an analyst and special teams coach for Fresno State. How he sets the expectations for both his specialists and his special teams units in camp applies to any position group or unit.
