Our goal is to grow these young men in the game of football, but also in the game of life. We will work relentlessly to put a product on the field that everyone will be proud and excited to be a part of. We are evaluating every area possible to uplift this program to where we think it can be. We plan on throwing the football around and being very physical on defense and those are two things that kids want to do. This will be a fun and exciting 2010 season for everyone in the Clarksville Academy football program. I am proud to be a part of the CA athletic family.”
