Play it Smart - Academic Coaching grant

The National Football Foundation’s Play It Smart program is accepting new school applications for the 2008-09 school year. The final date to submit an application for STEP 1 is Feb. 15, 2008.

The mission of the National Football Foundation’s Play It Smart program is to help studentathletes take responsibility for their future through lessons learned on the playing field, in the classroom and in service to others.

The National Football Foundation’s Play It Smart program is able to accomplish its mission by working with high school football teams across the country to enhance the academic performance and life skills of the team members. The partnership between the Play It Smart program and member high schools creates a positive environment for student-athletes. The key to the success of Play It Smart is the Academic Coach, who supplements the football coaching staff to provide the academic and life skills mentoring and support.
