The Park Avenue facility includes an indoor turf room and conditioning, changing and training facilities. The $75 camp fee includes all instruction and a camp t-shirt.

Coach Grant will host the camp with the assistance of the University of Memphis coaching staff and other local college coaches, as well as current Tiger players for demonstration purposes.
