"We were extremely pleased with the number of participants at the camp and the quality of young men," Ball State head coach Stan Parrish says. "This camp attracted only 57 individuals five years ago, but has really taken off. Our staff works very hard with this camp and to promote the game of football around the state. We are excited about the growth of the camp and the quality of instruction we are able to provide about the game of football."
The camps include instruction at all the offensive and defensive positions. The camp began at 1 p.m. and closing remarks by Coach Parrish took place at 8:20 p.m.
