Seniors play a vital role in the leadership of any team. We know that their leadership will play the most significant factor in the strength of our team and in the lasting bonds and value that all players will derive from participating in our program. During these sessions we will seek to educate our seniors with regard to the hopes and expectations our program holds for senior leaders. We will also begin to provide opportunities to build on this learning as they engage the other players on our team ... and start to shape the TEAM.

Summer training camp is intended emphasize the importance of being active and preparing for the coming season, as well as serve to motivate players to begin focusing on specific football skill related training. It is also about building the foundations of our TEAM - with an emphasis on players connecting and engaging each other to form a shared bond and commitment between teammates. This work will include weekly team and squad challenges to help build players' competitive spirit. Coaches will also engage players to form a clear understanding of the underlying values and expectations we hold for everyone in our program.

We are excited to welcome new players and families into the MDI Trojan Football family! This is an important transition period in the life of a student-athlete. It is also a time that many are anxious about for a variety of reasons. We will meet individually with each of our incoming players and their family and these sessions are intended to ease some of the anxiety and orient players to the team. It will also allow parents the opportunity to meet our coaching staff and ask questions. We take great pride in the opportunity to partner with families to help reinforce values that will serve to enrich and empower our players long after the game is over and they move on in the world.
