WHY SPEED & AGILITY?

Speed and agility have become two of the most important attributes an athlete can have. The goal of this camp is to improve the speed and agility of all campers for football and cheer. The speed portion of the camp has four priority components. The first two are the actual keys to improving speed, stride length, and stride frequency.

Stride length improvements are accomplished using over speed training as well as plyometrics to increase leg power and strength. Improvements to stride frequency are addressed through resisted sprints, agility, and ladder drills.

The other two components are running form/technique and the ‘Start’ all four components are focused on during the speed and agility camp sessions. Through the camp, we will also address proper change of direction technique and form to improve agility test times as well as on field/court efficiency. Also, as a component of this camp proper jumping mechanics and technique will be taught and trained to help decrease the incidence of ACL tears.

We have added a football skills portion that focusing on training progression for blocking and tackling steps, get-offs, positioning, and arm motion working with dummies. The goal is to provide a solid basis prior to the start of fall practice.

Welcome to the online home of the Brighton Bulldogs Football and Cheer. Our athletes  represent excellence both on and off the field, and we set our expectations high: study hard, train hard, and work hard. Our athletics program is unparalleled thanks to a supportive community of parents and fans. Our coaching staff specializes in building better athletes, students, and citizens. We emphasize teamwork and demand the personal commitment to play like champions—every practice, every game, every time.

The goal of Brighton Bulldogs Football and Cheer is is to win, but that is NOT the primary goal.   The primary goal is to teach youth the benefits of team sports in a safe manner, to nurture their growth potential, and to provide them an opportunity to compete with their peers.

Why does youth football boost participants' confidence?
 
Because it gives them a sense of belonging and purpose. Because it surrounds them with mentors who pour into their lives and make them feel valued. Because it teaches them that they can handle any challenge that comes their way.

Toughness is a skill and can be practiced and improved like all other skills.

Positive & Enthusiastic volunteers needed to coach with Brighton Bulldogs Football and Cheer!  

Coaching a youth sports football team can be a tremendously rewarding experience, giving you the opportunity to help young players learn the game of football in a fun and safe atmosphere. Time dedication, character and integrity are a must. Football experience is preferred for the older teams, but not required for the younger teams or for assistant coaches.

For cheerleading, we are seeking energetic, motivated coaches and assistant coaches who enjoy working with youth between the ages of 5 to 13 years old and young women participate in cheerleading. Additionally, the bond created by a parent coaching their child is one that will be cherished and remembered for years to come. 

Enthusiasm, time dedication, character and a positive attitude are a must!
