We’re here for you, whether you’re new to the game or one of the top players in the country. That’s why we created High Performance - to give you a clear path to the top of your game.
Those who prove they’re among the best will have a chance to represent the United States versus international competition in both flag and tackle football. Only USA Football is a part of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and the recognized U.S. national governing body of the International Federation of American Football (IFAF).
High Performance is USA Football’s pathway to become your best. Watch the video to learn more.
The first two levels help everyone build the basics and better their skills. The top is for those that prove they’re among the best in the country. There’s a custom path for all game types, sexes and ages.
Everyone starts by learning what to do and how to do it - the right way.
This is done through the Football Development Model. It helps coaches teach athletes based on their age, the skill they are learning and game type.
This approach allows them to learn the game and related skills in a progression that best suits them. It also guides coaches on modern principles.
Sharpen your techniques, increase your knowledge and get evaluated for the best level.
This is the time to learn under coaches that will help you grow and test yourself against peers. Our focus here is to help everyone get better and identify those that will go onto the Best level.
