FBU Hawaii camp changed to June 8-10

According to the FBU website: "Based on market conditions and resource availability, we have elected to reschedule the Oahu camp for 2012 from March 9-11 (as originally planned) to June  8-10, 2012.  We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience, but in order to make the complete FBU experience available to more athletes in the region, we felt it necessary to reschedule." 

The Oahu camp follows the Little Rock, Ark., camp and will take place at the same time as the FBU Odessa, Texas camp and the Philadelphia, PA. camp. 

In addition, FBU has not secured a venue for the Hawaii event and reports the new venue will be announced shortly.

Football University’s Oahu football camp is set for  June 8-10, 2012, following two previous date changes. FBU calls itself the nation’s most exclusive and elite football camp experience. Although FBU does have an invitation-only policy, due to the elite level of training and athletes, we strongly encourage athletes to nominate themselves. Please refer to our main nomination and policy page for more information. If you'd like to nominate yourself visit our Nominate Now page. 

Change in Helmet Procedure/Policy for FBU

For this year's FBU camps, all offensive and defensive linemen are asked to bring their own helmet.  Throughout last season, we faced challenges from camp to camp, in properly fitting helmets to some linemen.  On several occasions, we were unable to properly fit an athlete.  In order to avoid this awkward situation and to keep safety first, we prefer to allow each athlete to bring his own helmet.  We will still maintain a reasonable selection of helmets on our trucks, to fit any athletes who do not have or are unable to obtain their helmet prior to camp.  In most cases, however, the athlete's comfort and safety will be increased by wearing their own.  Thank you, FBU.

May 4, 2012 Update

HONOLULU — I spoke with Education 1st Executive Director Asai Gilman on Friday, May 4, for an update on the possibility of a 2012 football camp.

Gilman said the Game Plan Academy Football Camp will be put on hold until further notice. Gilman and his wife, Keawe, have recently applied for additional grant money to help offset the cost of putting on a football camp.

"It's important that the camp is affordable for our kids," Asai Gilman said.

There is a possibility — a long shot — for a late-summer camp, but only if the grant monies come through and if the right coaches are available. Gilman said Game Plan is looking at all of its options, including the possibility of running a camp on Maui next summer.
