A Special Teams Football Academy student of ours, is one that we actively train and/or help with the college recruiting process.  All of these athletes have been a part of the Special Teams Football Academy program between 3 months to 7 years.  We value the loyalty we get from our athletes and parents and the opportunities and results we have been able to help produce for them.

We believe that no athlete is the same.  We train each specialist individually to bring out their strengths and maximize their abilities.

Last year, we helped find XX% of our Class of 2023 specialists an opportunity to play college football (even if they ended up choosing another sport to play or not continuing on).

Thank you for your trust in training your athlete!
