The primary instruction for the camp is the Wing-T offense, a system that Tehachapi has used to win a CIF championship in 2003 and four SSL championships since installing the system in 1996.
“We have some great people involved in this camp program when it comes to knowledge of (the Wing-T) offense,” said Mike Schonewolf in 2004, Tehachapi Golden State instructor. “When you have a great support staff, it carries over to the high school coaches and the players, and over the years it’s been a great thing to see the success take off.”
The Wing-T camp features some of the best minds in both college and high school football. The camp is headed by Steve Verbit, who has coached 21 seasons as defensive coordinator at Princeton University. Verbit’s roots in the Wing-T are strong, helping the University of Delaware to a Division II national championship in 1979 using the offense.
“Overall, I’d say that the Wing-T that we’ve been doing every year is a large part of the success of our program in the early stages,” said Warrior head coach Steve Denman. “When you have a chance to get together and run plays and learn from some great minds, it helps us fine tune many different aspects of our program and get the players on a higher level heading into summer practice.”
The camp instruction will last from Friday to Sunday, from approximately 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Scrimmages from teams in attendance are expected at designated times during the weekend. In addition to the Wing-T, camp attendees will also learn the spread, no-huddle spread and multiple, one and two back offenses.
“This camp is a major component to our off-season and we’re looking forward to a successful weekend as a team,” added Denman.
