Our program’s mission is to provide the youth in New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut an opportunity to develop talents and skills they will use today and later on in life, both on and off the field. We believe that team sports are a positive way to foster racial harmony, community integration and infuse the ideals of placing the team’s goal in front of the individual’s goal. Our first attitudes are discarded and replaced by an ethic of teamwork and a firm commitment to positive group interaction through individual character development.
We believe that team sports generally and football offers explicitly individuals the chance to build character, self-esteem, and team values by increasing a child’s desire to strive for individual excellence while contributing to the team as a whole.
Our philosophy is that football is an allegory for life. We feel that learning to overcome the adversity one faces on the football field emotionally prepares an individual for the adversity he may face later on in life. As coaches and mentors, we feel that it is incumbent upon us to help children grow into well-rounded young adults and coach football.
