Hampshire Jr Whip-Purs Football & Cheer

The Feeder Program for Hampshire High School Football & Beyond

"Youth football isn't about the name on the scoreboard; it’s about the grit built in the dirt, the brothers found in the huddle, and the realization that falling down is just an invitation to get back up."

Give your child a competitive edge to play football for Hampshire High School Coach Foster under the Friday night lights by enrolling them in the premier feeder program for Hampshire High School's Whip-Purs. Starting at a young age, our teams cultivate skills, foster growth, and develop within the Hampshire system. Our coaches and staff are the only program to directly coordinate with Coach Foster and his staff and implement their system on the field from kindergarten through middle school.  This ensures that by the time each athlete enters high school, they are primed to compete at an elite level, well rounded, fundamentally sound and part of a winning culture. Beyond shaping young athletes, we are dedicated to molding well-rounded young adults.

If your child isn't growing with our program, they'll be playing catch up.

REDUCED FUNDRAISING OBLIGATION

To minimize the frequency of fundraising requests on parents, we're introducing a fresh approach this season. Upon registration, each athlete will receive fifteen (15) raffle tickets. Families have the option to sell these tickets and retain the proceeds, thereby offsetting up to $150 of the registration fees. Alternatively, they can hold onto the tickets and enter them into the Annual Raffle for a chance to win. The cash prizes will vary based on the number of athletes enrolled, following a sliding scale system.

BUILDING HHS' FUTURE STATE CHAMPIONS 

As the Feeder Program for Hampshire High School, we are the only program directly working with HHS Varsity Football Coach and his staff to recruit, develop and grow the future of his program.  Our goal is to build a winning culture that will carry on through high school and beyond.
