TOP REASONS TO BECOME A PANTHER
- You will be a part of an outstanding community of men who care about each other.
- You will be given vision for being a great husband, father, worker and friend (it will be "more than football”).
- You will receive quality skill instruction from coaches who have been successful as college players and coaches.
- You would be working under men who are called by God to be here, and whose purpose and intent in being here is to "use" football as a vehicle to further the kingdom of Jesus Christ .
- You will learn to compete in a Biblical way, learn what it means to play free, and learn how to maximize your potential as an athlete.
- You will see servant leadership modeled and gain vision and training for your future leadership endeavors.
- You will be greatly valued regardless of your role with the team.
- You will have opportunities for mentoring relationships.
- We will draw from the "best" that we know of in enhancing someone's opportunities to reach their potential in sport and life...for the entirety of their lives (our concern is the 50 years following your graduation).
- You would be playing for coaches who have not only been successful as players, but who also understand balance and perspective as it relates to football and life.
