WHY CONSIDER BECOMING A PATRIOT?
It’s Fun! - Families and children in the Patriot program have plenty of fun. Some of this can be attributed to the competitive nature of the game on game days, but even during the normal practice week, our program is dedicated to developing a joyful and kid-friendly environment, where we get better while still having a good time.
Faith-based Environment! - While we take competing as serious as anyone, we do not adhere to the belief that our children need to be exposed to a negatively charged environment where anger, vulgarity, and disrespect toward children(or adults) are routinely tolerated. Our coaches undergo thorough vetting to ensure they consistently embody common Christian values, and that their conduct is aligned with the principles demonstrated by Jesus in the New Testament. We aim to instill confidence in parents within our program, assuring them that their children will have exemplary role models throughout their involvement in the Patriot organization.
Emphasis on Safety! - Just like in any sport, there is inherent risk. There are however many precautionary measures(listed below) that most high profile youth football organizations all across the country implore, as is the case in the Patriot program.
Coaches that are qualified to train players with proper technique
Exercise and training activities that promote strength and flexibility
Require physical examination by qualified physician
Use of properly fitted and well-maintained protective equipment
Encourage proper hydration and nutrition
Competition! - Football brings many forms of adversity. For this reason, there is no better opportunity to teach young men how to persevere and develop a growth mindset. Just as life will undoubtedly present many challenges and require us all to pick ourselves up off the dirt, dust ourselves off and keep going, so will the gridiron.
Please note that playing time is not expected to be equal. Rather, it will be determined by coaches by weighing things such as skill level, understanding the playbook, attitude, dependability, effort and in-game situations that are most likely to lead our team to victory.
Instead of wanting everything in life to be fair, these young men will grow an appreciation for for developing mindsets and work ethics that lead to a lifetime of SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT.
***DISCLAIMER: We approach winning and competition with great seriousness, and our players and parents share this commitment. Life does not grant our desires solely based on our wishes; instead, it often demands grit, perseverance, disappointment, and the ability to learn from repeated failures!
