Programs & Events

Participation is the first step towards building a relationship with our coaches. By presenting exciting and helpful programs & events we show them first hand who we are and what we do.

These annual programs are all direct responses to the felt needs of our coaches. The programs are also great opportunites to show new coaches what we are all about as well as the community resources that are there to support them…through Coach’s Corner.

Many of our players at Marietta are now able to go to college and continue to play football. For many of them, they are the first in their family to attend college. They could not do it without their football scholarship, and they would not have gotten their scholarship without the exposure they received at the Expo.

Coach’s Corner has hosted the Summer Passing League for 14 years. Two nights a week football players and coaches from over 30 high schools gather at six different locations in the Metro-Atlanta area to practice, scrimmage, and perfect their skills in this 7 on 7 non-contact atmosphere.

In addition to The College Recruiting Expo and the Passing League we host other exciting events like our Total Person Banquet in 2002 and last year’s 2005 Coach’s Kick Off, featuring nationally known motivational speaker and preacher Coach Joe Ehrmann. We are currently planning more great events like these for this upcoming year. We will keep you up-to-date.
