Pilot Football Development Program for Grades 5-8
We are excited to explore the launch of a new Pilot Football Development Program for Preparatory Division students interested in preparing for high school football.

This non-contact program will meet four days per week and focus on football fundamentals, speed and agility, teamwork, and athletic development. Athletes will also participate in strength and conditioning sessions with Coach Elias, classroom learning, film study, offense and defense installation, and position-specific drills to build a deeper understanding of the game.

Coach O’Connell, who brings over 20 years of youth and high school football coaching experience, including serving as Head Football Coach at JPII from 2020-2021, will help lead the program and player development process.

Our goal is to build excitement around football at the middle school level and create a strong foundation for the future of high school football within our community.

View our flyer HERE. To sign up, please visit THIS LINK.
