The Avon Lake Shoremen Father – Son Football Club provides a unique opportunity to be part of an organization designed to support the Avon Lake football programs, coaches, parents, and athletes. Some of the different activities that the Club sponsors include:
- Annual, recurring college scholarship program to recognize the academic, athletic, and community accomplishments of our young men;
- Monday-Night Football post-game film review with the coaching staff ! Did you ever want to know what strategies and conditions were unfolding during the previous game?
- Leadership training throughout the season with guest speakers and programs structured to provide responsible role models and life lessons; and
- Civic and charitable functions designed to provide team members the opportunity to “give back” to the community.
