- All students are separated throughout the entire academy by age, experience and ability! The outstanding coach-to-athlete ratio allows for individualized and small group instruction!
- High school players aged 15-18 are eligible for the exclusive Gridiron
Elite. A detailed information packet on each member of the Gridiron Elite
will be sent to over 2,500
college football coaches to help each player receive recognition
at the college level. Through our partnership with NCSA, they will send each award winners information to an additional 5,000 coaches across the country. This is great nationwide exposure that
a player might not get from playing at their high school alone.
- SUPERVISION AND BACKGROUND CHECKS! Safety and security of your son are a concern for Sports International, and therefore, we conduct background checks on all staff, coaches, and father volunteer counselors that attend the academy. In addition, there are athletic trainers on duty 24 hours a day to attend to the player’s needs. On the field, your son is under the watchful eye of our coaching staff and off the field father counselors are in charge of supervision. In addition, the majority of the campuses where we hold our programs have campus police and/or security staff on campus and available 24 hours a day.
- VIDEOTAPE ANALYSIS: Each participant will have an opportunity to review film from practice with some of the top coaches in your area! You will find our videotape analysis sessions are an excellent training tool to break down technique and are invaluable in the learning process.
