The Acadiana Swamp Gators Youth Football Program was created to promote an ongoing youth football program in the Acadiana area to give youth an alternative to the troubles of street life.
The program’s main goal is to build character, self discipline, and integrity to inspire athletes with the ideals of respect, hard work, sportsmanship and physical fitness, regardless of race, color, gender or ability “if you believe it you can achieve it.” This is accomplished by improving the athlete’s life skills, as well as their football abilities.
All participants are afforded the opportunity to improve these life skills through academics, friendship, teamwork, commitment, sportsmanship, loyalty, honesty, responsibility, self-discipline and pride with the fundamentals of football. This mission has been established not only to teach these athletes how to experience success on the football field, but how to become responsible, self-sufficient adults who contribute to their community.
