BEYOND THE FIELD

The Beyond the Field Leadership and Development Academy program is an evidence-based youth development through sports program based on the National Football Leagues’ “Play It Smart” Player Development Program

model. The mission of the program is to provide educational resources for underserved youth who have deficits in social, emotional, and financial support needed to achieve future success. We accomplish this by partnering with local schools with the idea of using sports as an opportunity for scholar athletes from underserved communities to enhance their personal and academic skills.
