Win-Win ELITE Developmental Program
Diamonds In The Rough powers the WIN-WIN ELITE Developmental Program. WIN-WIN is an acronym that stands for: What’s Important Now, Work Is Necessary. Our WIN-WIN motto is a constant reminder to everyone that we
all have to be self-sufficient and work for whatever we want in life, NO HANDOUTS! The Win-Win Elite Developmental Program has been very instrumental to Diamonds In The Rough's success. This 5-month program extends from December to April. It consists of football athletes ranging from 8-19 years old. Each participant has to tryout for the program or obtain a personal invitation. We provide athletic development, academic accountability checks, 7v7 football tournaments, college tours and access to Adidas, Under armor and Nike Camps. In addition, we host clinics on gang prevention, college readiness, career opportunities, health & wellness, leadership skills and financial literacy to increase socioeconomic awareness in our youth and maximize their potential.

7v7 Tournaments
|
|
The first aspect of the Win-Win Developmental Program is our participation in Pylon and NFA National 7v7 Football Tournaments. 7v7 is a fun and safe way to play football for all ages. Playing in these national tournaments allow our participants the opportunity to travel to different cities and states to compete against highly rated players from other areas in their age group. This is a great way for skilled players; QBs, WRs, RBs, DBs and LBs, to get more quality reps. It is also a great evaluation tool for the players, parents, grade school coaches and college coaches. Using DIRSEE's core values, we develop our participants by focusing on football concepts, position technique, reads & recognition skills and more. Our developmental process helps our members compete at their highest level during the 7v7 season which transition to their school season.

Athletic College Tours
|
|
The second aspect of the Win-Win Developmental Program is our unofficial athletic collegiate tours. Its very important to expose our members to the college scenery. These visits give our participants the opportunity to learn about the school's athletic program and connect with the coaches at an earlier age. Recruited players will have a chance to decide whether or not they want to put or keep that school on their priority list before they enter the more focused recruiting process. In addition, college coaches will have a chance to get an accurate measurement on our members. We believe that giving middle and high school prospects the opportunity to take unofficial visits will motivate them to increase their work ethic in the classroom and on the field!

Educational College Tours

Another aspect of the Win-Win Elite Developmental Program is our Educational Tours. Unlike the athletic tours, the educational tours provide our members with the knowledge of the college academic program, majors, history, professors and counselors. It also gives our members each college's GPA requirements, grant funding and available scholarships. In addition, these tours allow our members to experience the distance of the trip from home to college and the actual learning environment on the campus. We also tour historic monuments and building to inform our members about the pass and advancements of the world.
