Mini-camp
An NFL mini-camp is a short camp held by NFL teams usually in May of each year. The camp usually only lasts 3 days, but the length varies by a day or two depending on the Head Coach's preference. Mini-camps are geared toward getting the newly drafted rookies acclimated to the NFL playing scemes. It also gives coaches and team administrators the chance to see their new players in action learning plays from their new team's playbook. Several veteran players of each team will also attend mini-camp to refresh their skills and get aquainted with the new players coming in. Attendence requirements for mini-camp are entirely up to each individual Head Coach. Some Head Coaches push for all of the players to be there, while others ask for just the rookies and younger players to attend. The drills and plays ran at camp are done in shorts and t-shirts or jerseys. They are not "full contact" drills.
