Parent questions
Wide receiver training questions
What does private receiver training cost?
$85 for a 75-minute 1-on-1 session with Coach English, a record-holding receiver himself. Buy 4 sessions for $300 or 8 for $560. Small groups of 4 to 6 receivers run 90 minutes at $55 per athlete.
Should my receiver bring gloves?
Receiver gloves are optional. Bring football cleats or turf shoes, athletic clothing, a full water bottle and a personal football if you have one.
Can a younger or newer receiver keep up?
Yes. Receivers train at their own level, Foundation, Development or Advanced, from first-time players through high school athletes.
What happens if we need to move a session?
Give at least 48 hours’ notice and it moves at no cost. Illness and unsafe weather are always free to move.
