Pennsylvania Football Camps
West Chester University - West Chester, Pennsylvania
Per PIAA By-Laws, "a Pennsylvania High School student who participates in organized contact football camps, clinics, drills, Practices, Inter-School Practices, Scrimmages, Contests, or similar contact activities outside the PIAA-defined football season shall be ineligible to participate in interscholastic football for a period of one year from the date of such participation." Therefore, Pennsylvania High School players choosing to attend this summer's camp will be involved in a "Limited Contact" version of the same camp program.
West Chester University utilizes nine top-notch facilities for its 24 intercollegiate athletic programs. From state-of-the-art upgrades to the school’s football field, which doubles as home to the men’s and women’s outdoor track & field squads, to the traditional surroundings of Hollinger Field House nestled in the hub of North Campus, West Chester has played host to NCAA championship events, regional finals and conference titles.
Directing the camp is Head Football Coach at West Chester University, Bill Zwaan. Bill Zwaan enters his ninth season as head coach of the Golden Rams, having put together one of the most impressive coaching resume’s in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference during that span.
