High School Player Development
Attention high school football players! Get prepared for college both on and off the field!
The Buffalo Bills and National Football League hosted their Annual High School Player Development (H.S.P.D.) program sponsored by the National Guard June 6th through June 10th in the Bills Healthy Zone.
Approximately 250 local high football players (incoming sophomores, juniors and seniors) from Western New York participated in the camp. The H.S.P.D. program is a week-long football camp that focuses on character development and on-field football skill training by position.
Dave Wannstedt, Buffalo Bills assistant head coach/linebackers was on hand on Wednesday, June 8th to speak to the student athletes about staying on the right track and what drove him to reaching his goals. At the end of the week-long H.S.P.D. football camp, 24 players were selected for two teams to represent the WNY region at the Regional Seven-on-Seven Tournament which was held at Riverside High School on June 25th.
The winning team from regionals will go on to compete at Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio for the National Seven-on-Seven Tournament Championship July 7th-10th.
What H.S.P.D. does:
- Increases exposure of high school football players to college coaches and recruiters in Divisions I-III.
- Increases access to academic records for college recruiters.
- Create a new pool of quality and fundamentally sound athletes from communities-in-need through innovative teaching methods and drills developed by leading NCAA and NFL coaches who contribute their input and signature on position skill development exercises and methods.
