Become a better football player at HSPD

The NFL High School Player Development program can help high school players improve their play on the field and learn the off-field character skills necessary to become a more successful college student-athlete.

HSPD is aimed at incoming high school seniors, juniors and sophomores. Over the five-day course, coaches work with players on:

  • Building character (Ethics & values, attitude and teamwork)
  • Preparing for success in school and life after school
  • Time-management skills (Each player receives a student planner)
  • Offense position skills
  • Defense position skills
