• The Football World Has Dramatically Changed – The Stakes Are Higher than Ever Before
• NCAA athletes will soon be paid, and today’s high school athletes can be top earners before the NFL
• Training and exposure are critical to maximizing this opportunity
• By attending, athletes will receive:
  1. Honest evaluation of their national ranking
  2. Strengths & weaknesses report
  3. Year-round training plan

For talented athletes competing at the youth, middle school and high school levels, this window of opportunity is small. The road is short and the training time is limited.

Our regional scouts from throughout the country are responsible for identifying and selecting athletes to The Academy. They connect with local youth leagues and evaluate top high school athletes in each region using game film and recommendations from coaches.

They then rank each athlete per position and grade and then top athletes at each position are invited as per the plan below.   

The main criteria:

1. Football Talent and Production
2. Football Skill
3. Physical Ability (Size, Strength and Speed)
4. Character and Motor     

Our Grading Scale (Relative to Level/Grade):

5 – “Elite” – Great athletes and great football players

4 – “Very Good” – Great athletes and good football players

3 – “Good”  – Good athletes with right intangibles (solid athletic makeup, good football ability but great intangible qualities)
