Manning Passing Academy
The Manning Passing Academy is a four-day American football clinic held yearly at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Held in the summer, it is hosted by the Manning family and several current and former National Football League (NFL) and college football players and coaches. It is designed to coach four different positions: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end. The camp was founded in 1996 by Archie Manning.[1]
