“Jax embarked on his quarterbacking journey under the guidance of Coach Franke (NXT LVL) during the latter part of second grade. Despite lacking prior experience in the position, his eagerness to learn propelled him forward. Initially, Jax could only manage throws of about 10 yards to a stationary receiver. However, with dedicated training, he swiftly mastered proper throwing techniques and footwork drills. By the time third-grade tackle football commenced, Jax was consistently completing passes and scoring touchdowns in every game, often connecting with players running distances of 10-15 yards.
“Transitioning to a 7v7 league after the conclusion of tackle season, Jax continued honing his skills under Coach Franke's tutelage. His rapid progression was evident, as he began throwing passes spanning 20-25 yards. Concurrently, his football IQ expanded significantly. Despite his young age, Jax delved into the nuances of pre-snap reads, discerning when to execute a 1 ball, 2 ball, or back-shoulder throw, mastering techniques such as looking off safeties, and maneuvering within the pocket.
“What sets Coach Franke's program apart is its no-nonsense approach and structured training regimen, utilizing every minute effectively. Their attention to detail is commendable, and they diligently work with each player to refine their skills. As a testament to their efficacy, my 64-pound third-grader can now accurately throw the ball 25 yards, a feat made possible by the collaborative efforts of Coach Franke and my son.
“For parents whose children harbor a passion for football, particularly in the quarterback position, I wholeheartedly endorse Coach Franke's program. His expertise and commitment to player development instill confidence and elevate skill levels. Similarly, for those inclined towards the wide receiver position, Coach Elia offers equally exceptional coaching. Rest assured, entrusting your child to their guidance will yield remarkable results.”
