All players must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 each quarter and have completed the necessary credits annually to be eligible to play football. The M-A Football Academic Program is designed to empower our student-athletes to excel both on the field and in the classroom.

​

Balancing Student and Athlete Needs

Academic success is prioritized within the M-A Football Program. We recognize our players as students first, and substantial effort is devoted to their academic and personal growth. Every player, from freshman to senior, is required to participate in our academic program.

 

The Goal of the Academic Program

The primary objective of the M-A Football Academic Program is to equip student-athletes with fundamental skills essential for academic success. We focus on three core areas: organization, completing assignments, and test/essay preparation. Our aim is not only to keep players on track academically but also to provide them with the tools necessary to thrive in the classroom.

​

How the Academic Program Operates

Players are grouped into small cohorts based on shared classes, fostering accountability and peer support. Weekly grade checks help identify any issues early, and personalized tutoring is available for those needing extra assistance. Study Hall, running Monday through Thursday during the season, is central to our player development program.
