Huddle Up Academy aims to expand access to tackle football and academic resources for NYC's high school student-athletes

Huddle Up Academy Football

Huddle Up Academy is a nonprofit organization established in 2025 to provide New York City high school athletes without access to football the opportunity to compete and develop through tackle football. The program addresses barriers many student-athletes face in NYC, including limited access to organized football programs and academic support. Huddle Up Academy provides a safe, inclusive, and challenging environment where athletes can grow as players, students, and leaders both on and off the field.

Our Vision

Huddle Up Academy envisions becoming New York City’s premier option for high school tackle football for student-athletes who do not have access to the sport. Through rigorous training, academic support, and meaningful peer connections, the program aims to deliver exceptional outcomes and achieve a 100% post graduation placement rate.

We aspire to build an elite high school football program defined by strong coaching, competitive exposure, and pathways for student athletes to thrive beyond the field.

What We Do

At Huddle Up Academy, we develop more than just athletes. Our student-athletes build confidence, strengthen community ties, and develop a lasting commitment to excellence. By combining competitive football with academic support, we prepare young people to succeed in school, their careers, and life.
