This one-day regional event is designed by college coaches for high school athletes to compete against their peers from around the region and showcase their abilities in front of college football coaches who will run and organize each event. College Football Prospect ID events are the first premier event following the 2024 high school and college football seasons. This is the first opportunity for college coaches and high school football players to interact directly with each other on the football field. The day is designed by college coaches in order to get the most out of everyone’s time. The college coaches will run the event measuring various metrics while also providing instruction to help identify players and their ability to respond to coaching. This event is designed for high school athletes. Seniors will soon have their signing period open and underclassmen will soon become the priority for the next recruiting class. It’s never too early for high school athletes to be on a coach’s radar. College Football Prospect ID Showcase events will feature three sessions, Offense, Defense, and a Controlled Competition Session (divided in skilled players and big man). This gives players the opportunity to pick the sessions that best fit their skills. Players wanting to showcase their versatility have the option to participate in more than one session. The Controlled Competition Session also allows players to showcase their skills in a simulated game atmosphere. All college coaches will attend each session. Coaches want to get the most out of their time and they don’t want to waste your time. Therefore, it is a very active day for both coaches and players. Players should be prepared for a lot of football and to have conversations with coaches.

3rd Annual HIPFOOTBALL ALLSTARS
Nov 16, 2019 - Nov 17, 2019
Youngstown State University WATTS indoor, Youngstown , OH
HIP Youth/Adult Youngstown- Tim Johnson created Head Impact Prevention Football League, Inc., which changes the way we approach and play the game. Tim applied his 6 year NFL experience directly to HIP Football and will share his knowledge across the entire spectrum of football as the game continues to evolve. HIP has changed the type of helmet and shoulder pads players wear, in an attempt to address the concussion issue that plagues the football community. By removing the face-mask from the helmet, HIP has taken a level of violence out of the game, allowing your child to become a smarter and healthier student athlete, while preserving their brain and body for the future. HIP Football is 11 vs 11 football as you know it, just emphasizing no head to head contact, 2-hand tag (hip/side), no tackling. It's key that football is taught in a full team environment which includes all 11 positions on both sides of the ball. HIP football allows all participants to play the game at a fast pace while learning proper alignment, assignment and technique through consistent repetitions and film study. These mental skills will carry over to the playing field producing smarter football players.
