Uplift
Flag Football is a Christ-centered
sports program that builds faith and character while teaching excellence in
football. The program seeks to focus players on Jesus and His grace such that
their faith would come through strongly on the playing field and life.
Uplift Football provides
high-caliber coaching and skill-building. Each session starts with a huddle
where we put our focus on God, then we run through a series of instructional
drills, and we end with a scrimmage game. Players will learn all of the
techniques, details, and skills for playing quarterback, running back, wide
receiver, linebacker and defensive back.
Uplift Football offers the
chance for your son to:
-worship God through teamwork, dignified competition,
perseverance, self-control, and giving his best
-receive excellent
instruction in football skills, from fundamentals to advanced
techniques
-experience the fun of football without the physical risks of
tackling

Biography:
God has drawn me to Him
for the last 20 years and has called me to minister through sports. I have seen
God teach me many lessons of faith when playing sports. Athletic competition
and practice provided me with a proving ground for applying God’s word. As I
interacted with teammates, opponents and coaches, and pursued excellence on the
field, I learned to give my best for the Lord and practice my faith. My hope is
that when young athletes see their faith in action, they can translate this
trust in God toward much more important areas of life. God blessed me with a
High School football career that lead to being named All-Jersey Shore and
recruited by Division 1 programs. Now, God has really blessed me with the
chance to share my experience through coaching. Also, I have served as bible
study leader and Senior Deacon at the Evangelical Free Church in Windsor Locks
(who is supporting this ministry). I am truly blessed with a wonderful wife and
three great children.
