How it all got started....

Nineteen years ago, Coach Mike Pope began the Hawg Tuff! Camps out of a desire to provide quality instruction to offensive linemen at a fraction of the cost of big camps where kids were paying high prices but not getting their money's worth. The first camp was held at Indian Land High School (SC) where 40 young men attended. Since that time, camps have been added and attendance has been as high as 275 players at some of them.

More than 13,500 young men have attended the Hawg Tuff camps from South Carolina, North Carolina, Ohio and Georgia. Some of them have gone on to play at the collegiate and professional level. All of them improved their skills and made themselves better high school players and an asset to their respective teams.

The success of these camps has always been the result of the excellent coaches involved. They are all dedicated, hard working, and enthusiastic with a vast knowledge about offensive line play and technique. Some of the great coaches that have been involved in the camp over the years are Allen Sitterle, Bucky Tillotson, Ernie Hughes, Emet Reyes, Danny Sawyer, Marty Williams, Carl Startsman, Scott Steen, Mark Holiday, Brian Strickland, John Boggs, Mike Martin, Hal Brown, Mark Dempsey, David Pierce, Tom Turner, Bernie Keubler, Duane Garrick, Jim Anderson, Steve Gabriel, Derek Ayers, Brice Nelson, Andrew Heady, Dan Dickerson, Dain Clark, Caleb King and many others.

It is the goal of Hawg Tuff Camps to offer a fun, inexpensive, well organized and high quality learning experience for any young man who is a rising 7th grader through rising high school senior. Campers are divided into three groups - middle school, junior varsity, and varsity. All groups receive instruction in run and pass fundamentals and technique.

 

** In addition to outstanding instruction, all campers receive a free T-Shirt and lunch. The Cost of the Camp is only $40.00 if pre-registered and $50.00 the day of camp.
