Our community based Board is dedicated to raising sufficient funding for the purpose of developing football programs in our area that will promote healthy growth and development of the youths in our area of Aroostook County, Maine.
We believe that many youths are not able to participate in the existing athletic programs offered to them either because of lack of skills or lack of motivation. We believe that the local area will benefit from the addition of an athletic program such as ours. Many "at risk" youths don't participate in school-sponsored programs and end up in trouble. We have that a number of these "at risk" youths gravitate to programs such as ours and become invested in and committed to positive and constructive objectives, with resulting improvement in school performance and home behavior, and less conflict in school and with the legal system.
We seek to educate students not only in the fundamental skills necessary to play football, but also in important life skills such as responsibility, goal setting, sportsmanship, self-control, judgment, teamwork, leadership, and courage.
We seek to assist students in pursuing college education, using developed football skills as a way of financing these efforts through scholarships.
We seek to develop facilities and provide quality equipment for students of all ages to participate in football programs. Beginning with development of our playing fields, we intend to create a viable high school / middle school tackle football program along with a viable elementary school flag football program. These programs will also require our taking on the task of training adults to provide coaching and officiating.
