Position U - REGISTRATION OPEN

Playmaker U is offering Peewee, Bantam, High School and Junior/Collegiate age athletes more personalized time with professionals at their position. Each position with coaches available will hold a 4 week workshop consisting of one 2 hr sessions per week. 25 athletes is maximum capacity per session, with a minimum of 10 athletes to make the session. Sessions will take place bi-weekly with some exceptions.
For the first time Position U will allow drop ins! Please check the details section for drop in rates, or sign on for 4 sessions to get the fifth free.

In these sessions, the CFL all-star staff will spend approximately 60 min working on position specific drill work. PMU athletic performance director Kamau Peterson will work with athletes for 30 min outlining position specific exercises, strength/speed/agility movements, and weightlifting points of emphasis, to enhance participants knowledge of their own needed fitness levels for their own training regiments. In addition, 30 min will go into film study and opponent preparation. Young players will get the opportunity to critique film of the previous session, as well as in-depth breakdowns of fronts, one-on-one techniques, formations, coverages, and pattern recognition from the pros themselves.

QBU with Jason Maas will oversee the Quarterbacks, and is a well known leader and respected football mind in all CFL circles. His passion to teach what he has learned over his career shows through as Quarterbacks previous Playmaker U camps can surely attest to. His 2 Grey Cup Championship rings alone make his voice one that any young quarterback can benefit from hearing. Jason has worked with most if not all of the top QB's this area has produced in the last 2 yrs through PMU.

WRU with Kamau Peterson will lead the receivers and running backs for these workshops and takes pride in having aided young receivers in less formal settings over the years. With one Grey Cup ring, one CFL Most Outstanding Canadian trophy, 3 All-star nods, and 11 years of professional experience in all 3 major football leagues Kamau has much to offer an eager young pass catcher, and now with the tools at his disposal at the PMU Institute, look for even more dynamic receivers and backs to emerge from the PMU ranks.

RBU with Calvin McCarty gives an opportunity for all running backs to pick Calvin's head on all aspects of the position. Calvin is one of the most talented and well rounded players of the position in the CFL. Those looking to walk in Calvin's steps could do well to start with RBU and use it as a stepping stone!

OLU with Aaron Fiacconi & Kyle Koch the Eskimos own dynamic duo will spearhead the big boys at OLU. Both master technicians as well as tremendous communicators, it's no wonder why those that learn under them quickly become such dominant players. Both have have the benefit of having played every spot on the O-line as professionals, a key and unique asset in teaching the position.

DLU with Jed Roberts is the newest workshop to be added to our stable, and it took a long search to find one as qualified to teach the position as Jed. A long time Eskimo great of 13 years, and one of the most prolific Eskimos to play the position, Jed's a known technician and takes pride in what he's teaching.

DBU/LBU with Shannon Garrett widely known as one of the best total package DB's to ever play in the CFL. One of the most sought after instructors of the position in Western Canada, and with good reason, Shannon has a knack for conveying the game the way he saw it through his own eyes. A rare trait in a player so skilled.
