“Want to know what it takes to play football at a high level?” said Sharpley, who enjoyed an athletic career that took him from playing for Notre Dame to traveling the nation playing baseball as part of the Seattle Mariners organization. “Then join us for an intense and demanding week-long period, designed to test you physically and mentally.
“We will leave no stone unturned. Strength, conditioning, speed, agility, skill, leadership will all be included. Expect a competitive environment that includes footwork, throwing mechanics, ballistics, weighted footballs, and competitive conditioning for QBs and wide receivers to hone their route-running skills and release technique; a fully immersive experience that is second to none.”
Global Football President & Founder Steenberge added: “As the world of communications and travel continues to make it easier for sports enthusiasts, players and coaches to learn about our sport, there are youngsters and teenagers in nearly every country in the world dreaming of what previously was only feasible for talented and motivated American kids. The goal of playing at a major NCAA University like USC, Notre Dame, Michigan or Alabama and even the NFL has now become a reality for a special few, and this initiative is aimed at helping expose talented athletes to that opportunity.”
