TULSA, OK - 10/11/2011
Former TU and NFL QB Paul Smith and Faster Athlete Founder and Head Coach Dan Hedman announced today the forming of the Paul Smith Football Academy. The Academy's initial offering will run from December 4th, 2011 through March 4, 2012 at Victory Christian School for Quarterbacks and Skill Position athletes, that is, receivers, tight ends and running backs. Coach Smith and Coach Hedman are joined in the effort by Coach Mike Whitson.
"Our motto is "take your game to the next level" and the Academy will focus on helping each athlete do that through improved game speed and position specific skills development," said Smith. "Coach Dan will lead the athletes through his Faster Athlete Speed Training (FAST) to develop speed and agility, we will then break out into positions and work on skill development using drills I learned while at TU and Jacksonville. We are looking at 2 hours of fundamentals and advanced, intense football practice." Coach Smith will also be teaching varsity students the art of film study.
"We want kids to play faster so we will focus on developing explosive acceleration, change of direction, balance, power and agility," said Hedman, "Part of our drills will be general football speed development, then we will break down into position specific drills designed to improve game speed for each position." The coaches will also be providing recruiting info for varsity athletes.
The Academy will run Sunday afternoons from December, 4, 2011 through March 4, 2012 at Victory Christian School and will consist of a Varsity Session, 1:30-3:30 pm for 9th-12th graders and Youth Session, 3:30-5:30pm for 5th-8th graders. Enrollment is limited to 20 quarterbacks and 20 skill position athletes per age group.
Tuition for the full 12 weeks is $500, or athletes can do one six week session for $275. There is an early bird discount available through November 7.
