Miami Dolphins Host Hallandale High School Football Team at OTA Practice
Davie, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins on Wednesday, May 25 hosted the Hallandale High School football team at their Organized Team Activity (OTA) practice. The team was given a tour of the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University and heard from Miami Dolphins Youth Programs Ambassador and Dolphins alum Twan Russell about the importance of teamwork and brotherhood.
“I think it was a great experience. We had an opportunity to get our kids out here to show them how the pros do it,” Hallandale High School Head Football Coach Herman Lovett said. “At the end of the day, I thank the Dolphins organization for blessing us to have this opportunity.”
The Hallandale football team also had the opportunity to watch the Dolphins practice and meet with current players on the field. Following practice, the Hallandale athletes had lunch provided by Papa John’s.
“I got to meet a lot of the players and they showed me different things, and I’m going to reflect that on my playing style,” Hallandale High School linebacker/strong safety Michael Nesmith said. “I was talking to Kenny Stills, and he said that all it takes is grinding and dedication and never giving up as well.”
The Miami Dolphins Youth Programs’ mission is to transform the lives of youth football players by instilling character building and reinforcing safety standards that help to increase football participation and grow a new generation of Dolphins fans.
