AGE GROUPS
Participants age 7-18 are welcome to attend the program. The size of the program allows our staff to separate players by age, ability, experience and/or aggressiveness. Our programs provide proper match-ups to challenge the players while creating a great learning environment.

Our coaching staff will intensify the instruction in all phases of the game with positive, enthusiastic instrucÂtion. This group will receive personalized attention and training. Learning proper technique at this age is very important, but our staff never forgets “football is a game.” While still making each practice fun, our veteran coaching staff will step it up a notch each day with more advanced technique training on both offense and defense.
For athletes that have more experience in this level, coaches will work with players on more advanced technique training on both offense and defense. We take pride in the number of players we have helped to make and contribute to their youth league or team. Our high school level coaching staff and pro(s) will intensify the instruction each day in all phases of the game with positive, enthusiastic instruction and more advanced technique training.
Our coaching staff’s goal for this age group is to prepare each player for their team! Whether you have never played football before or are an advanced player, we know how to make you a better football player. The instruction will intensify in all phases of the game as the program goes on. Each player will receive more advanced technique training each day and will return to their team a much improved football player! The techniques the athletes learn at this level also aid in helping prepare players to make their high school team. Our coaching staff’s goal is to help each high school player attain their football goals! The coaching staff, made up of college and high school coaches, know how to make you a better football player. We will do everything in our power to help anyone in our programs obtain a college scholarship or play at the college level. This is a great opportunity to improve your skills and to be recruited at the same time! Top performers at our programs will be selected to the Sports International Gridiron Elite (ages 15-18 only). The Gridiron Elite is an exclusive club made up of the top high school football players that attend all of Sports International’s programs. Each recipient will be hand-selected by the coaching staff throughout the summer. Players selected for the prestigious Gridiron Elite will have outperformed many of their peers to earn their coach's recognition and praise. As a member of the Gridiron Elite, Sports International will be sending each participant’s information to over 2,500 college coaches throughout the nation to aid in their recruiting efforts. Through our partnership with NCSA, they will send each award winners information to an additional 5,000 coaches across the country.
