BARNETT FOOTBALL SCHOOL
The Gary Barnett Football Technique School has become the
most popular in the Rocky Mountain Region, as kids from ages
eight-to-18 have annually come to Boulder to enjoy a week’s
worth of learning and recreation.
Called one of the best football camps in America, the school
features CU head coach Gary Barnett, the Buffalo coaching staff,
and several area college and high school coaches. The strength
of CU’s technique school is the player-to-coach ratio (never
more than 10-1) and the emphasis on teaching.
Former CU players also return on occasion to participate in
the camp. In the past, the likes of Alfred Williams, Chad Brown,
Kordell Stewart, Eric Bieniemy, Heath Irwin, Kanavis McGhee,
Mike Moschetti, Kyle Rappold and Arthur Walker have been on
hand to help teach.
The majority of the school is spent on the field in the actual
teaching and drilling of the fundamentals and techniques of each
position, the same exact things the Colorado Buffaloes are
464
taught. Campers will learn about the importance of attitude,
discipline, work, pride and team concept, the same qualities that
have made CU a national championship program.
Following dinner, campers play “Buff Ball,” which is best
explained as fast break basketball on grass, with a football.
Afterwards, they have a choice of hit movies to watch prior to
lights out.
The Buffalo Technique School is annually one of the largest
youth football camps in the nation, as 900 participated in 2004.
But even with these large numbers, kids come away from the
camp with the feeling of having a quality individual experience.
Camp dates for 2005 are tentatively scheduled for June 8-10
(8 to13 year-olds) and June 12-15 (14 years and older). Rates are
available for daycampers (in the $200 range) and dormcampers
($300-345). For more information, call the CU football office
