The intent of the Ed Henick Senior Bowl game is to showcase the best high school football players who have used their last year of eligibility in a North, South all-star game. Every year Football Saskatchewan asks all high school coaches throughout the province to nominate players from their school, who they feel are capable of playing and competing with the best football players in the Province.
Each year during the end of March a selection camp is held in Regina and Saskatoon where over 150 athletes attend each camp to display their athletic abilities. These one day camps are conducted in each cities respective field house and have the same format. The morning session will consist of a series of tests that will be used to determine their athletic ability.
The tests include a 40 yard time, a 20 yard time, vertical jump, shuttle run, standing broad jump and a bench press. Following a break for lunch, the camp will resume with the afternoon session consisting of position specific skills and drills.
Coaches at these one-day camps will include the seven man North/ South Senior Bowl coaching staffs and coaches from the elite programs. The seven man North/ South Senior Bowl coaching staffs are representatives from Saskatchewan’s City and Provincial championship teams.
From the selection camps 75 players will be chosen to attend a full contact tryout camp in Regina or Saskatoon. The Training camps will run in late April. The respective North/South Coaching staffs will run the two a day practices scheduled for this weekend with guest coaches from the high school leagues. The weekend tryout/training camps will consist of four practices, two Saturday and two Sunday. Players will be evaluated by the Senior Bowl coaching staff and will be notified after if they will be representing one of the Senior Bowl teams.
The Ed Henick Senior Bowl Game changes locations between Regina’s Mosaic Stadium and University of Saskatchewan’s Griffiths Stadium. The game features the top 45 graduating high school players from the Northern and Southern parts of the province.
