Youth Football : Junior Player Development

 

Junior Player Development

The National Football League has developed an introductory/ developmental youth tackle football program for boys 12-14. The program is designed to teach every participant, every position, through a step-by-step progression of skill instruction packaged in a re-adaptive, fun and entertaining manner.

All participants receive instruction from NFL selected high school coaches from the local market.

The Cleveland Browns/NFL Junior Player Development Program is presented by Medical Mutual of Ohio, in association with Dick's Sporting Goods. All participants receive counseling through a life skills/character development curriculum to be incorporated throughout all on-field activities. Every week a different life skill message is designated as a theme for that particular week. Each theme is addressed through the context of football. Instructors will make connections between life skills as they are applied in football as well as other areas of life, especially school, at home and in the community.

In 2007 the Cleveland Browns/NFL Junior Player Development Program presented by Medical Mutual of Ohio will take place in 8 different locations throughout Northeast Ohio.  The locations are as follows:
