THE BEST PLAYERS AND COACHES IN LONG ISLAND.

OVER 26 PLAYERS IN VARIOUS HIGH SCHOOLS AND TWO 8TH GRADERS WITH DIVISION I OFFERS AND/OR COMMITMENTS. OUR BLUEPRINT IS PROVEN. IT'S WHERE THE BEST YOUTH PLAYERS PLAY. THE ONES WHO ARE SERIOUS ABOUT FOOTBALL. 

Often Imitated, Never Duplicated

THE BEST PLAYERS IN NEW YORK

We have been doing this for 15 years going back to our FBU and Long Island Spartans days. Last year our 14U team dominated the New Year's Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.

This year we have more than 26 of our alumni players in high school with Division I football scholarship offers and/or commitments. We had an 8th grader last year with multiple Power 5 offers. Our blueprint is proven. If you are serious about football, there is no place like the Long Island Elite National Team Program.

@prepredzone @247sports @rivalsdotcom @on3recruits @footballuniversity @getrecruitedconsulting and other recruiting trackers have come to trust in the 495 shield identifying the top players in New York. We mean excellence; players with top talent and good character traits.

We will begin announcing some of the very best players from the class of 2029 and older. These are exceptionally talented players that we are endorsing for early tracking and offers.
