The BC Lions Football Club is about to kick off the annual tour of United States free agent camps in the United States! All athletes who intend on attending a camp should dress appropriately with the proper footwear – field surfaces vary at each location and are included with location information below.
Each participant is required to pay a $100 registration fee (no checks). These fees cover the cost of field bookings, insurance and other costs associated with staging a free agent camp. If you have highlight film please bring it along to the workout.
Testing will include: 40-yard timing, pro agility shuttle, football drills and 1-on-1’s. In order to spend as much as time as possible with those players who have realistic potential to play professional football, the club will begin cutting down following the 40-yard times and before the individual and 1 on 1 period commences.
The club is not currently looking for kickers or punters.
Important: Any player ultimately invited to BC Lions Training Camp must have a valid US passport in order to travel to Canada and return to the United States.
Several players on the current roster were originally signed following free agent camps. These include Jonathon Jennings, Travis Lulay, Bryan Burnham and Solomon Elimimian. Two prominent former Leos who attended one of these camps include Adam Bighill(New Orleans Saints) and Cameron Wake (Miami Dolphins).
