USA Football believes that the well-being of the sport depends on a broad appreciation of the game, excellence in coaching, an emphasis on safety and health, high levels of youth participation, and collaboration with the many partner organizations involved in amateur football.
USA Football also supports the development of amateur football internationally and the ISP gives football players the chance to attend high school and play football in the United States. The program offers student-athletes the opportunity to grow academically and athletically in an environment unavailable in their home community.
USA Football has partnered with several high schools to launch this innovative program in 2006. Not only will international student-athletes gain a great deal from their educational experience, but the host schools and local students will also benefit by having this young man in their community.
