I believe - because football gives a youngster an opportunity make himself a better person on and off the field that football is Basic Training. This Basic Training can be an essential part for being successful in a competitive world.

Basic Training

2. To play football you have to meet academic standards to be eligible – you have to meet high intellectual standards to be successful in life.

3. Football teaches you how to deal with the bumps, bruises, and bloody noses that the game throws at you and life creates bumps, bruises and bloody noses too.

4. Football takes an EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT from your heart and soul to help the team and teammates to be successful. So does life take an EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT to be successful.

5. Football teaches time management – management for academic, athletic, and social needs. Time management is an important function in life.

6. Football requires sacrifices – so does life – give unselfishly.

7. Football develops an understanding of the concept of team. After you leave football you will be on a team for a long time.
