Why QBR Camp is THE Camp For You!

Dr. Hayes,

Hope all is well! The last chapter of the Ruben Boys run has closed. Teddy won the Ed Doherty Award which is also known as the Arizona high school Heisman. Teddy's brother Tim won it in 2007.

Please know that you and QBR Camp own a piece of this since part of the boys' development started out on those fields at QBR Camp at California Lutheran. In fact, every piece of every championship and award the boys received while in high school has the QBR Camp stamp on it!

For that I thank you and for all you have done for them! Take Care and Keep in touch!
Frank Ruben - QBR Camp Dad

 

Dr. Hayes,

My son Chad Jeffries attended your QBR camps at Cal Lutheran for 4 years back in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Your camps during that time laid a solid foundation for Chad to become the QB he is today. He had a great career at Glendora high school the last 4 yrs. and last summer 2010 he attended the USC Nike camp and was given the QB mvp. With that award before his senior season began he was starting to get offers from colleges such as Oregon State , Washington Huskies, UTEP, Utah , San Diego State and Fresno State .
Just this last Weds. February 2nd, Chad signed his National Letter of Intent for a full ride football scholarship to an NCAA University. We as parents are so proud of him and want to thank everyone who had a hand in helping him achieve what he wanted and worked so hard for.
Thank you,
Mark and Nancy Jeffries - QBR Camp Parents

Dear Dr. Hayes,

I just wanted to update all of the fine coaching staff on Colton Garner's recent success. Colton attended the Thousand Oaks QBR Camp in California, August of 2009. Being Canadian we thought that this would be a great opportunity to learn from the best. Even though Canada is known for producing skilled hockey players on February 2nd Colt became the first high school quarterback from Southern Alberta in recent history to sign an NCAA letter of intent with a university in the USA for FOOTBALL. Thank you to Dr. Laird Hayes and all of his fine coaching staff for helping Colt develop the necessary skills to play at the college level.
Marc Garner - Colton 's Dad

Dear Dr. Hayes,

I wanted to share our win with you.

Connor Nielsen (QB) and Scot Wallace (WR) have been to your camp #2 in California for the past couple of years.

This weekend they again won the British Columbia provincial championship for the 2nd time. (They won last year as well) . They ended their season 8-0 after winning their zones, and then went on to win the BC Championship.

Last season they also had an unbeaten record, bringing their overall winning streak to 20-0 now and 2 Provincial Championship rings.

There is no doubt the skills training your organization adds is a key factor to their consistency.

Thanks, and we will be seeing you again this summer.

Dear Dr. Hayes and QBR Camp Staff:

I apologize for taking so long to compose this. I wanted to see if the QBR (California #2) camp would make an impact on my child's playing this season.

I can't say how happy Ty and I are that he attended your fantastic program! Ty had six receiving touchdowns in the first five games of the season and we aren't done yet!

The skills taught and the confidence gained are invaluable assets to any student athlete wishing to take their game to the next level. I appreciate the time and effort put into this camp.

Please keep up the good work and we'll see you next year.

Sincerely,
Kei Fuller (Ty Fuller's mother) - QBR California Camp # 2

Thanks to the staff and the time that I spent a QBR Camp I have achieved my goal of making 1st Quarterback. The coaches say that my fundamentals are supreme! That really makes me feel good and . I know it is due in large part to Dr. Hayes and his staff. The time I spent at QBR help to establish greater confidence and define a character in me as a Quarterback.

Once again I want to "Thank You"! I am proud to say that I am the starting quarterback for the Tyler Falcons Pop Warner Pee Wee football team. Did I mention I played center last year and I am 10 years old. SEE YA NEXT YEAR!

Timothy LeWayne Hall Jr. - QBR Camp Alumni

We have now come back to Sweden from our fantastic 4 week vacation in Calif. Kevin whom attended your wonderful football camp wants more of tt and wants all ready to sign up for next year.

He had the best of times at the camp and with all the coaches. He grew as a man (only 13) and of course as a QB and became during the four days a much better QB than before. All of the coaches took very good care of him and gave their best to develop him to the next level of being a great QB and I would say that they all have succeeded.

It also seems like he did good impression on some of the coaches which made me very proud. We are now considering to send him to the US so he can start his American football career as a high school freshmen next fall.

Thanks again for a fantastic camp and I really hope to meet you again next year. It was a great pleasure.

Sincerly and Very best regards
Steven Dillman - Malmö, Sweden, QBR Camp Alumni Dad

Just a short note to tell you that I was very impressed with the camp and how much my son, Zach, improved during the four days and three nights. As a former professional football player a couple of things jumped out at me as I watched all of the training sessions at camp.
 
First, the key to any good program and or position is fundamentals, and as I walked around I could see just that - repetitions in the fundamental areas for both the WR and QB positions. The other thing that was apparent, especially at the WR position, was the passion each of the coaches had for what they were doing. I always say kids do not care what you know until they know that you care. It was very evident that the coaches absolutely cared, and as a result got the most out of the kids.
 
Once again thanks for the wonderful experiences. There is no doubt in my mind we will be back at one of next year’s QBR Camps.
 
Regards
Chris Marcus, QBR Camp Alumni Dad & Former Canadian Football League player,
Ottawa Rough Riders – 1982-83

My family wishes everyone at QB a blessed holidays and remember fondly six years of wonderful development with your program. I am trying to still chase my dream to play at the college level, and after sustaining a fractured hip and blood clot drained this September, I returned to Varsity as a starter in the 4wide set, starter on special teams and longsnapper for Oaks Christian; In my first year on JV after transfering as a frosh captain from Chaminade with a 14 TD season I split the receiver leadership as a sophmore captain with Trey Smith and had another 8 TD's and over 20 catches. The drills at QB camp are so valuable and the diversity of route expectations and getting off the jam are really essential; I hope to coach one day too and was just named Honorable Mention for Varsity. My schools of interest currently are ISU, TCU, CIncinnati, UCLA, Boston College, and several other wideout oriented programs. Thanks again for being one of my first finesse skill camps that truly inspired me to do not give up on my passion to be a leading receiver talent nationally. Happy Holidays and sincere thanks to the entire staff.
Brett Medders, QBR Camp Alumni

Teddy had a pretty successful campaign his Junior year leading the Scottsdale Saguaro Sabercats to the 4A-1 Semi Finals and a 10 - 3 record. He rushed for 1,410 Yards and 17 TDs and also passed for 1,410 yards and 7 TDs. He was selected to the both the First Team All-City and First Team All-Region Teams.

He still credits his experience at QBR as the biggest part of his developement. We plan to be there for one last stop before his Senior Season in 2010. Who knows, maybe Alex and Tim would lke to work the camp!

Whenever Alex, Tim, Andrew, Teddy and I get together and talk football, QBR Camp is ALWAYS part of the conversation! QBR Camp has prepared the boys like no other camp. The results speak for themselves!
Frank Ruben, QBR Camp Alumni Dad

My son, Jared, finished his senior season at Hillcrest High (Alabama) and made the statement that he never would have had the career that he did without QBR camp. He finished with over 3,200 yards passing and 38 TD passes. Both school records. I have a 9 year old son named Lawson who can’t wait to do QBR.
George Pratt, QBR Camp Alumni Dad

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for hosting a very exciting and memorable camp. The football skills and techniques taught to my son Jesse during the California 1 & 2 camp excelled Jesse to earn a place on the 8th grade team even though he's only a 7th grader.

When the 8th grade coach learned of Jesse attending your camp, he was excited that he had a future player able to catch the ball. Jesse was able to prove himself during the summer practices incorporating the skills he learned to "show his stuff" which impressed the coach. Jesse earned a starting position on the 8th grade team as a tight end and as a free safety. Yes, I'm a proud dad but I owe it to you and your staff. A special thanks goes' out to his QBR position coach who Jesse idolizes as the coach who taught him to catch. See you next summer.
Rob Norris, QBR Camp Alumni Dad

I have attended professional football players' camps and many University camps but all of them have turned out to be nothing more than autograph sessions and meet the player events. This camp gives even the most experienced high school athletes a chance to polish their skills and learn new tricks and tips that will dramatically improve their game. I have taken more out of then Quarterback & Receiver Camp than any other football camp I have ever attended. This program is not four days of scrimmaging. Each coach is focused on turning every camper into a better football player before they leave. It would be easy for you, Dr. Hayes, to bring in a big name athlete but instead you bring in knowledge, patience, and dicipline( Coach Josh Niblett, Coach Kirk Dunham, and Coach Murray). And for that I want to thank you.
Grey Clevenger, QBR Camp Alumni

I participated in your Arkansas camp this past summer. I was the only camp member from Utah and I thought that I would give you an update on how my season went since attending your camp. We, the San Juan Broncos, started off losing our first game then had a seven game winning streak. Then we faced the Millard Eagle for our region championship and lost. But we still qualified for state and in our semi-final game we were down with two minutes left and I threw the game winning touchdown with 37 seconds left. That took us to the championship where we once again faced the Millard Eagles. I threw two touchdown passes and we shut them out 13-0 to give us the State Title. Thanks for all your help and encouragement this previous summer. I, as well as my coaches, could see the changes your camp made in my passing technique and abilities. At the bottom are some links to news coverage of our semi-final and championship games. Thanks again for everything!!

Alex Smith attended QBR Camp the summer of 1999 prior to his freshman year of football. He was an inexperienced, 5’8” player with a lot of smarts and determination. He learned how to throw his first spiral pass at QBR!  - Coach Dave Van Matre, Helix High School; 30 year QBR Camp coach; 2005 State of California Assistant Coach of the Year

Quarterback and Receiver Camp did more for my football development than anything else! - Doug Flutie, Heisman Trophy Winner & NFL Quarterback

Quarterback and Receiver Camp was the perfect camp for David to work on and refine his fundamentals and mechanics. - Roger Carr, father of David Carr, Houston Texans Quarterback, #1 NFL Draft Choice in 2002

When I coached at UCLA, graduates of QBR Camp played in all of our Rose Bowl appearances. You run a great camp! - Terry Donahue, VP & General Manager, San Francisco 49'ers

When I attended Quarterback & Receiver Camp it reinforced how important the fundamentals are to becoming a top-flight player. My son, David, who followed in my footsteps to Stanford University, had a tremendous experience at QBR Camp. I recommend QBR Camp to every player who wants to maximize his potential. It's unquestionably the finest camp of its kind out there. - James Lofton, NFL Hall of Fame and San Diego Chargers Wide Receivers Coach

Thank you for the opportunity to coach for the second year in a row at camp this summer. QBR Camp is the most positive thing I'm associated with!

The product speaks for itself.  - Keith Boyea, United States Air Force. USAFA Quarterback and 12th player in NCAA history to rush AND pass for over 1,000 yards

QBR Camp was the start of my journey to the NFL. - Mark Brunell, QB Washington Redskins: Pro Bowl MVP

I sent my son, Tyler, to QBR Camp before his junior and senior year over other camps. I knew from personal experience and a nation-wide reputation that QBR Camp is the only camp of its kind where he would be taught the proper fundamentals and techniques. QBR Camp was THE camp to attend when I was in high school ... and still is! - Mike Canales, Offensive Coordinator & QB Coach, University of Arizona; Former NY Jets Wide Receiver Coach

Your teaching techniques, the professionalism of your staff, and the individual attention you gave my son rank QBR Camp as the BEST! - Jim Livengood, Athletic Director, University of Arizona

The program is excellent and the coaching staff is outstanding. My two sons had a great experience. - Jim Otis, NFL All Pro Fullback

My son, Bobby, had a great experience at QBR Camp and I could tell that it made the same impact on him as it did for me!  I will always recommend your camp to every QB/WR I come across. The teaching that they receive is second to none. - Steve MooshagianSacramento State Head Football Coach, former NFL and Fresno State Assistant, QBR Camp Graduate
