The Manning Passing Academy is a four-day American football clinic held annually at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana.[1] Held in the summer, it is hosted by the Manning family (Archie, Cooper, Peyton, Eli) and several current and former National Football League (NFL) and college football players and coaches.[2][3] It is designed to coach four different positions: quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end.[4]
The camp was originally founded in 1996 by Archie Manning at Tulane University and has also been held at Southeastern Louisiana University.[5][6] In 2005, the camp moved to the campus of Nicholls State University.[1]
