PROGRAM  PHILOSOPHY

   Our program is dedicated to the development of youth athletes, fostering both mental and physical growth through the game of football. We emphasize:

   1.   Fundamental Mastery: Teaching proper fundamentals of blocking, running, catching, ball security, reading, coverage, and understanding             then performing text-book football techniques. 

   2.   Cerebral Prowess: Cultivating smart football players through education on game strategy, especially within a Run Pass Option (RPO) s               system. Every position offensive line, quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, defensive line, linebackers, and defensive backs will                     develop advanced knowledge and decision-making skills.

   3.   Physical Preparation: Major emphasis on correctly stretching, conditioning, and strength training are integral, ensuring players are                   physically prepared and less prone to injury.

   4.   Discipline & Education: Developing strong work ethics, accountability, and respect for the game, team, and self through disciplined                   practice routines and off-field education.

   5.   Balanced Nutrition: Teaching players the importance of a balanced diet to fuel their performance and support  recovery.

   6.   Safe Play: Ensuring players execute safe tackling and blocking techniques in line with the latest safety standards.

   7.   Team Excellence: Fielding a hard-nosed defense, proficient special teams, and a textbook-executing offense where every position                       contributes with skill and understanding.

   8.   Parental Participation, Communication, and Cooperation: We recognize that parent involvement is crucial to an athlete’s growth and                 success. Parents are a major component of our program and are the catalyst for athletes consistent attendance of training sessions,                 events/meets, and facilitate at home training activities to maintain conditioning. A firm partnership coupled with transparent                           communication between parents, coaches and athletes creates the best environment for success.

NFMS OPS program aims to build not only strong football    players but well-rounded respectful leaders and individuals prepared for future challenges.
