Miami Dolphins Host True North Classical Academy & Boca Braves and Deerfield Packer Rattlers of Gold Coast Pop Warner at Training Camp Practice
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins yesterday hosted the True North Classical Academy and Boca Braves and Deerfield Packer Rattlers of Gold Coast Pop Warner at their training camp practice. The teams were given a tour of the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University and received a character talk from Miami Dolphins Vice Chairman, President & CEO Tom Garfinkel.
The teams also had the opportunity to watch the Dolphins practice and meet with current players on the field. Following practice, the Braves and Packer Rattlers scrimmaged on the Dolphins’ field with an athletic trainer provided by the Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute’s Youth Athletic Outreach Program.
“We’re a young football team and we had a chance to watch the guys who know how to practice, the tempo of practice, watching them get to drill to drill. That’s one of the things for us is to learn how to practice well and watching how fast and efficient they do that,” True North Classical Academy Head Football Coach Greg Laffere said. “It adds a lot of excitement to the start of our season to come here. I don’t know of any other place that does this and I think it’s great outreach for the community.”
“You get to see what it is the pros do at your positon and you get to see different techniques and how it looks,” True North Classical Academy freshman wide receiver Jon Jon Delgado said. “Seeing how they cover and different guys react to different things, it’s nice to soak in.”
“They’re just excited to see pros and hopefully get close to them and touch them and maybe get a signature. They want to see what this atmosphere is and what football life is about,” Deerfield Packer Rattler President Tyrone Philpart said. “Having an athletic training for the scrimmage is very important for the safety of our kids, and it shows that the community is there supporting our kids as much as the parents in this organization. We’re excited about them and we appreciate Baptist Health for that.”
“The thing that I’m hoping for the kids take away is the memory, with them being 10 and 11, and holding onto this memory to be able to tell their kids how they had an opportunity to come watch the Dolphins play at a practice facility and having an opportunity to touch a professional football field,” Boca Braves Head Coach Mark Sainmervil said.
As part of the Miami Dolphins’ commitment to the development of high school and youth football, the organization will host high school teams from Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties at the team’s training camp practices. The team visits are a targeted effort to recognize, inspire and increase football participation through personal connections centered on the positive character building aspects of playing the game.
The Junior Dolphins program encourages youth players and coaches to teach, learn and play football in a fun and safe environment. The Junior Dolphins program is designed to give kids access to learn the fundamentals of football using the NFL’s top resources.

Miami Dolphins Host Dade Christian School & the North Miami Beach Sun Devils and South Miami Grey Ghosts of the Miami Xtreme Youth Football League at Training Camp Practice
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins yesterday hosted the Dade Christian School and the North Miami Beach SunDevils and South Miami Grey Ghosts of the Miami Xtreme Youth Football League at their training camp practice. The teams were given a tour of the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University and received a character talk from Miami Dolphins Youth Programs Ambassador and alum Twan Russell.
The teams also had the opportunity to watch the Dolphins practice and meet with current players on the field. Following practice, the Rocks and Wolverines scrimmaged on the Dolphins’ field with an athletic trainer provided by the Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute’s Youth Athletic Outreach Program.
“This is good for our team to see how professionals practice and see how it works at the next level,” Dade Christian School Head Football Coach Eduardo Barnes said. “Twan’s speech was awesome. I hope it resonates with my players and they understand they have to give of themselves so they can become something great.”
“I was looking at the receivers, because that’s what I play. Some of the things they were working on in practice can help me like footwork, the way they run their routes and get off on their releases,” Dade Christian School sophomore wide receiver Jevot’e Adderly said.
“I hope they just see how a professional team conducts themselves, how serious these guys take their positions. I’m hoping that my kids are looking at the individual position that they’re playing and getting experience on the pro-level,” North Miami Beach Sun Devils Head Coach Shavar Ford said.
“I think the kids really enjoyed the character talk, and they really need to hear stuff like that from other people besides our coaching staff. I think they enjoyed watching the practice, seeing the players up close, seeing that they can reach out and touch them,” South Miami Grey Ghosts Head Coach Nate Merrell said. “I think what Baptist is doing is awesome. Like we have trainers on the sideline at every youth game. Whenever a kid gets hurt, they’re there. They understand ice, ankles, knees – whatever injury happens they’re always there.”

Miami Dolphins Host John I. Leonard High School at Training Camp Practice
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins yesterday hosted the John I. Leonard High School football team at their training camp practice. The teams were given a tour of the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University and received a character talk from Miami Dolphins Youth Programs Ambassador and alum Twan Russell. The teams also had the opportunity to watch the Dolphins practice and meet with current players on the field.
“A lot of these guys have NFL aspirations like every teenage kid, but when they get to come down here and actually see the players and see the facilities and how big these guys really are and how fast they are, I think it opens up their eyes and it’s a great experience for them,” John I. Leonard High School Head Football Coach Keith Chattin said. “I think it generates more excitement for them, because now they’ll watch the preseason or some of them may come down here for a game and say, ‘I met that guy,’ or ‘I’ve seen Coach Flores.’ Now they’re reenergized and they understand that there’s a bigger goal and there’s a lot of work I’ve got to do to get that goal.”
“This means a lot to me and my teammates, because we get to see how NFL players practice on an NFL experience level, rather than us on a varsity level,” John I. Leonard High School sophomore wide receiver Ja’Kavian Williams said. “I was mainly looking at the receivers and how they catch the ball and looking at how you have to get two feet down every time you catch the ball.”

“I liked seeing the Dolphins in person after watching them on TV. They’re my favorite team,” Northeast High School sophomore running back and linebacker Omar Graham said. “I also liked how the practice was fast and they were in synch.”

Most of these guys have never been up close to an NFL team, so they were focused on the players.”
