M-A Football

At M-A, we have high expectations for the academic performance of our athletes. That said, we understand that not all students are created equal. That's why we invest in a full academic support program. Read on for more information about requirements and what we provide.

 

What are the academic requirements to play M-A football?

All players must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 GPA each quarter to be eligible to play football, and have the necessary completed credits every year. The M-A Football Academic Program is designed to support our student-athletes to reach their full potential in the classroom, in addition to maintaining eligibility.

​

Does the football team help manage and balance the needs of a student and an athlete?

Yes! Academic success as a student is the first priority of the M-A Football Program, and a significant emphasis is placed on academic and personal development. M-A football has a full year academic program that ALL players, freshman through senior, are required to participate in.

​

What is the goal of the Academic Program?

The M-A Football Academic Program is focused on teaching student-athletes the basic skills required to be a successful student. The 3 core areas of emphasis are organization, completing all assignments, and test/essay prep. The program goal is to not only help players stay on track in school, but have the necessary skills to succeed in the classroom.

​

How does the Academic Program work?

Players are organized into small groups based on common classes, creating a network of accountability and peer support. Student-athlete grades are checked on a weekly basis to identify issues early, and personalized tutoring is available for players who require additional support. Study Hall operates Monday-Thursday throughout the year, and is a core emphasis of the program player development.
