Following registration, each player will warm up and then be timed and measured in the 40-yard dash, short shuttle and vertical jump. VooDoo coaches will then select candidates to participate in offensive and defensive lines.

Candidates must come dressed and ready to work out and have the appropriate shoes for running on Sprinturf. Kickers will not be evaluated at the camp.
