Eagles re-‐brand 7th and 8th Grade Program to create developmental football program
Coach Don Fellows and Grand Rapids Christian has taken a step towards building for the future by creating the "GR Christian 78ers Youth Football Initiative". This re-branding of our 7th and 8th grade program is a way to create a developmental system for players coming into Christian High School to play football and makes a stronger connection between our high school and middle school programs. The goal is not only to outfit our 7th and 8th grade football players with helmets and uniforms, but also to bring these programs under the guidance of the high school football program in the form of X's and O's, competitiveness, and Christian fellowship. For more information on the 78ers Eagle Football initiative contact Coach Fellows at donf@fieldhousegroup.com
