Some of the top youth football players in Southern California will convene at USC for an invitation-only camp dubbed Football University from Feb. 20 to 22.

The players in grades six through 11 will be tutored by former NFL players and coaches and receive video analysis of their fundamentals work.

Parents and coaches can nominate players for participation through Football University’s website by clicking here. Players will be screened and those offered invitations must pay $549 each.

The Dallas Morning News today wrote about a Football University camp -- one of 32 nationwide between now and July -- that was held over the weekend in Texas.

Ben Bolch

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
