Hustle & Heart Across America

Hustle & Heart: Happening Across America

The second week of September is the peak of the high school football season, with 7,246 games across the country.

That’s 7,246 opportunities for students to be rewarded for hustle and heart.

In towns across America, students will suit up with their school’s name on the front of their jerseys and compete, learning perseverance and determination along the way.

Want to be a part of it? If you’re not already on the field this season, talk to your school’s athletic director or football coach about joining the team next year. #ThisIsHSFootball

Be sure to use the hashtag #ThisIsHSFootball whenever you share stories and photos about football on social media!

Smart rules. Real results.

This isn’t your grandfather’s football.

Develop character for life

From the very first practice to the last game of the season, high school football prepares players for LIFE.

More positions. More opportunities to play.

Football is different than most high school sports because it offers 88 opportunities to participate in a game!

Thank you for a memorable season

Looking back on this high school football season, what mattered most weren’t the stats, the final scores, or the wins and losses.

High school football changes us

As another high school football season comes to an end, who players were when they stepped onto the field is not who they are when they step off of it.
