FAQ'S
PLAYER APPLICATION & ELIGIBILITY
Athletes can apply at our Apply page. Applications are reviewed by the coaching and operations staff. Selected athletes are contacted with next steps related to evaluation, roster placement, and participation.
Athletes must be currently enrolled in high school (and yes freshman, sophomore, juniors can apply but seniors are the priority) and are evaluated based on:
Football experience and positional skill set
Coach evaluation and on-field assessment
Positional and roster needs
Commitment, conduct, availability, and academic standing
PPT Elite prioritizes athletes who demonstrate discipline, competitive mindset, and a strong work ethic, both on and off the field.
Yes — if you’re committed to a D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO program, you can still join. This spring prep program can serve as your development window to get ready for your freshman season. The goal is to help you keep developing, stay in football shape, sharpen your technique, compete, and prepare for the jump to the college level. While our main focus is serving unsigned seniors who still need an opportunity, committed athletes at the D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO levels can also use this program to bridge the gap between high school football and college football the right way.
No — participation in this program does not affect your college football eligibility.
