Midwest Miners Football

"We exist to continually build and develop principal-centered student athletes, so that they may grow not only individually but also as a team, leaving them the life skills to take on tomorrows world today."

The Midwest Miners are an elite traveling middle school football program. We have teams for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Our goal is to recruit and develop the best middle school players from the area. We have top-notch coaches teaching players fundamentals and high-level offensive and defensive schemes. We play teams from across the region and country.

For us, it's about culture. Developing a strong work ethic. Learning how to be a part of a team where you may not be the star. Being coach-able. Knowing how to push yourself and properly care for your body to maximize output. As a staff, we are also very big on stressing academics and behavior. If players don't pull the grades, they don't play. If there are behavior issues at home or at school, there are consequences. We want players to learn that as athletes, they are under a microscope in their communities and at school. Their behaviors are a direct reflection on our program and their families and we want them to learn that while they may not have behaved poorly on the field, they are still going to be seen as "the Miners football player.

The goal of our organization is to help push these kids beyond what is normally expected of them at this age. So by the time they play high school football, the playbooks are not intimidating, the players across from them aren't any better than what they've already faced, and they understand what it takes to play at a championship level.
