"I am thrilled to be coaching at LFL Academy alongside Coach Jorge! As a staff, our mission is to invest in the community and create a positive, safe environment where growth and development thrive. Looking forward to getting involved!" -Richard Moodie.

Richard and I have similar views on how the path to help young athletes looks like and together we will continue helping on their development process.

We are working to put some events together like a college ID camp where we will have college coaches from different division levels to watch players for each of the girl's and the boy's side.

Also, we are planning to have a parents educational meeting where Richard will guide parents and players on things/steps to do for those that are hoping to get recruited by a college coach.

I am so excited about this upcoming season! Last season was our best in number of players registered to our programs, plus the amount of messages I've been getting from upcoming new members, now with the addition of Coach Richard Moodie to our program and more Purdue players joining our coaching staff.

It is looking like we will have another successful season where our goal is to help players to reach their potential and have a winning mentality on and off the field.
