September 11, 2001 changed America forever. Today, Long Island Elite Football remembers the innocent lives taken, the heroes who ran toward danger, the families who carried unimaginable loss, and every American whose life was forever changed that morning. Twenty-five years later, we still remember where we were. We still remember what mattered. And we will make sure the next generation understands why. Never forget 🇺🇸 Relationships Above All 🇺🇸 #TheBlueprintLIE495 #CharacterMatters #NeverForget #September11

There aren’t many youth football players anywhere in America getting coached by a guy who once stood in the middle of the Penn State defense. Long Island Elite Co-Founder @GeraldFilardi47 was one of the great linebackers to come out of Long Island, became a starter at @PennStateFball led the Nittany Lions in tackles in consecutive seasons and was part of two BCS Bowl National Championship teams under legendary Head Coach Joe Paterno before signing with the @steelers More than 30 years later, he’s still on a football field teaching linebackers, correcting technique and passing along what he learned at the highest levels of the game. That has always mattered at Long Island Elite. Our young players should be surrounded by people who have actually been where they’re trying to go. Leadership matters. Experience matters. Who teaches your son matters. #TheBluepirntLIE495 #PursueExcellence #CharacterMatters #BelieveTheDream

𝗧𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡 🔗 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗜𝗢 Middle school football is not little kid football anymore. This is where players either start learning the game the right way or start falling behind. Technique matters. Coaching matters. Accountability matters. The people around your son matter. Long Island Elite was built for families who take development seriously. For 14 years, this program has helped players compete, grow, get educated, and prepare for the next level. More than 125 Long Island Elite alumni have gone on to play college football, including athletes in the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and beyond. And the men leading it have lived it: 🏈 Co-founder @GeraldFilardi47 — two National Championships at Penn State, NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers 🏈 @BenjaminJCarey — one of the nation’s leading voices in football recruiting and raising young men But the standard here is not only about offers. It is about how a young player practices. How he listens. How he competes. How he handles coaching. How he carries himself. That foundation starts earlier than most people think. It starts here.

Excellence recognizes excellence 🇺🇸 No introductions needed when it’s real. From the recent Long Island Combine—record turnout, serious work, and a field full of players and coaches who don’t need to talk about it… they show it. ꜰʀᴏᴍ ʟᴇꜰᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀɪɢʜᴛ: ★ @CoachLiteFeet Long Island Lutheran Football, a perennial force on Long Island. Coach Garner is known for building relationships, creating real exposure for his athletes, and continuing to position LuHi as a reliable program that has always produced legitimate next-level talent and draw serious attention beyond New York. ★ @BenjaminJCarey co-founder of Long Island Elite ★ @CurtSt3mz from St. Francis Prep Football, one of the most battle-tested programs in New York City. Coach Stembridge has decades in the game, deep recruiting ties across the five boroughs, and a track record of developing disciplined, college-ready players who understand how to compete and carry themselves the right way. ★ @GeraldFilardi47 co-founder of Long Island Elite Different sidelines. Same language. No politics. No noise. Just men who understand what it actually takes. When real coaches cross paths, there’s no handshakes for show… just mutual recognition. Because the truth is simple— You can’t fake this level. You can’t shortcut it. And you definitely can’t replicate it. @LIEliteFootball #TheBlueprintLIE495 #LongIslandElite #PursueExcellence #CharacterMatters #NewYorkFootball

In collaboration with our friends Pete Blieberg and Lou Bonanzio from @NFFSuffolk we are excited to announce a showcase for 𝐋𝐈 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟐 𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐗 and 𝐋𝐈 𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐘 𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 and 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐋𝐘𝐍 𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐒 youth teams at the upcoming National Football Foundation All-Star Classic. Saturday June 21st. Arrive at Noon High School game kicks off at 1:00pm. Players are free, family and friends can buy tickets at the gate. Come watch the top High School Seniors from LI and NYC play in the All Star Classic and also get a glimpse of two first class youth football programs! For over a decade @LIEliteFootball and @BrooklynTitans have been producing top football talent, educating them on branding, ethics, academics, social media, and time management, and raising fine men through lessons that transcend the field. This new all-star game comes as a replacement for the Empire Challenge, which had been organized by the Boomer Esiason Foundation for 24 years before being canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The National Football Foundation and the College Football Hall of Fame’s New York City chapter are now taking the reins, aiming to deliver a similar experience for athletes. According to Marc Hudak, president of the National Football Foundation’s NYC chapter, the leadership may have changed, but the goal remains the same. “We want the student-athletes to get the same treatment as they did with Boomer,” he said. Plans are in place to honor Esiason by naming the game’s MVP after him to respect his contributions to the sport. Pete Blieberg, from the National Football Foundation also chairs Section XII Athletics and is coordinating the event. He has extensive experience from his time running the Empire Challenge. As excitement builds for this revamped showcase, players and fans alike are eager to witness this clash of talent between Long Island and NYC high school stars. @NFFSuffolk @NFFNetwork @LIEliteFootball @BrooklynTitans @GeraldFilardi47 @kmaurino @BenjaminJCarey
