NFL Junior Player Development!!!
Developed to provide a template for high school football programs, as well as additional
access to youth tackle football, the program provides step-by-step instruction for every
team position to boys between the ages of 12 and 14 in a fun and engaging environment.
The program integrates on-field skills development with life skills and character
development. As they plan for future high school interscholastic activities, participants
receive instruction from NFL-selected high school coaches, as well as counseling that
focuses around a weekly life skill.
Each life skill theme is addressed through the context of football with instructors making
connections between life skills as they are applied on the field, in school, at home and in the
community.
In addition, through a youth coach's development program that provides more than 60
hours of practical training, coaches learn how to properly teach all game fundamentals and
how to creatively and effectively apply life skill messages.
