Participant Entry must be in by April 30th!
Dear Wahawk Football Parents,
Coach Moore is very excited about a NFL sponsor Football Camp that the Wahawks Football players are invited to (Free). Coach Moore welcomes all 2012 football players to attend this camp at Waverly High School on June 11th, 12th, & 13th. The coaching staff is look forward to working with all the players. All football players that would like to participate in the camp will need to contact Coach Moore to be add to the list before April 30, and will need to fill out and return a registration form alone with a copy of their up-to-date athletic physicals.
The high school player development program aims to develop productive members of society as well as good football players. We use the newest techniques and instruction from a wide range of colleges and look to constantly improve the fundamentals of the game.
The program was started in 2001 to aid in the development of inner-city and underserved areas to develop their football programs and players. It began in New York City with four sites and has grown each year to its current size of over 150 sites nationwide.
The NFL does not believe that every student athlete that goes through the HSPD program will play in the NFL, but we know that we are making better firemen, better doctors, better parents and better overall citizens.
In 2009, the NFL and The National Guard teamed up through the HSPD program to build stronger communities that create opportunities for all individuals and families to succeed. We've continued to improve the program by adding safety components such as the CDC's "Heads Up" concussion safety component in order to increase awareness of concussions by players, coaches and parents as well as working to prevent them in the future.
The program is run out of the NFL League Office located in Manhattan, NY and is directed by Jerry Horowitz. The program has 12 Regional Directors that work with high school coaches and administrators to determine camp locations for communities in need of quality football instruction and character development guidance.
Overview of Program:
- HSPD camps occur April through August
- Camps are free
- Participants receive a 13-month HSPD Student Planner while coaches receive the matching HSPD Coach Planner (which includes the character development curriculum)
- During the 1st session of camp, it is mandatory for site managers and coaches to cover the following topics:
- Concussion Awareness (Center for Disease Control (CDC) information is included in planners)
- NCAA Guidelines (NCAA information is included in planners)
- Time Management along with at least 4 other life skills topics
- During the remaining sessions, participants are taught football fundamentals for one offensive and one defensive position (which should be assigned prior to the camp)
