“Football is like life, it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.”

Vince Lombardi

 

Laval Liberty High School’s (LLHS) Football Concentration program develops Student-Athletes by incorporating a young person’s thirst for football into their daily academic and social environments. Our Football Concentration program is a performance program dedicated to academic, athletic and community development as we work with our partners to develop healthy, successful, engaged and conscientious members of our society.

Our LLHS Football Concentration program has a winning tradition as a result of strategic development and meaningful collaborations:

    -Decrease our student dropout rates and increase student academic success by creating more opportunities for meaningful academic engagement.

    -The ONLY AAA English high school team in Quebec.

   - 2007 Bal D’or Champions.

    -Players have graduated to play with CEGEP and University football programs.

    -Student-Athletes have earned academic, athletic and citizenship excellence awards and are involved in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award program.

“Every touchdown starts in the classroom.”

Our Triple ‘A’ in Action standard is successful because of our unwavering commitment to place the student first in our player, program and team development strategies. In order to deliver excellence in both the classroom and on the field we surround our Student-Athletes with excellence by:

-    Assemble a group of likeminded investors and sponsors

 -   Encouraging parental support

  -  Provide coaching expertise

   - Enable meaningful teaching, academic support and accountability
