The Orlando QB Shootout + Battle in the Pit camp competitions is set to return to West Orange County for its fifth annual “campetition” from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, July 12, at Central Florida Christian Academy in Ocoee.

The combined camps — the Orlando QB Shootout led by Nease High coach Collin Drafts and the Battle in the Pit led by Lo Woods and Aaron Jones Sr. — create a mega-camp that brings together some of the most talented and highly-recruited football players in not just Southwest Orange and West Orange but from all of Central Florida. Last season’s camp featured The First Academy offensive lineman Chancellor Barclay, a Clemson commit and former Dr. Phillips and current Middle Tennessee quarterback Stanley Anderson-Lofton.

Registration for the camp is open to all youth athletes from rising fourth-graders to rising seniors. For those who would like to participate in the QB camp, registration is $100, for all other positions the cost is $50. Quarterbacks are required to bring a football, and linemen must bring their own helmets.

Included in the cost of registration is two instructional sessions from top-level coaches, totaling in approximately four-and-one-half hours, a branded Dri-Fit T-shirt and a barbecue lunch.
