Not just the ones who can afford it.

THE NATIONAL LINEMAN FOUNDATION
THE WORK MATTERS.
SO DOES WHO
GETS TO LEARN IT.
Our mission is to make safer, better blocking instruction accessible to linemen around the world.
Private training has become expensive. For too many families, specialized coaching is simply out of reach. A young athlete’s willingness to work should open doors—not leave them waiting outside because of what training costs.
We started National Lineman Foundation to help close that gap: connecting young people with elite-level instruction from former professional and college players, and bringing together the people and businesses who can make that access possible.
How we bring the mission to life
MICHAEL & JACOB’S STORY
WE KNOW
WHAT IT’S LIKE
TO WANT
THAT CHANCE.
Growing up, we were the linemen who couldn’t afford high-end training every weekend. We couldn’t afford the extra recruiting support, either—the help building a profile and getting in front of the right people.
We wanted to get better. We were willing to put in the work. But the resources that could help us take the next step weren’t always within reach.
That experience is a big part of why we started National Lineman Foundation and launched National Lineman Day. We want more young linemen to have access to experienced coaches, learn safer, better technique and feel supported as they find their way in the game.
We know what it’s like to want that chance. Now we want to help open it up for someone else.

ONE DAY.
A LIFETIME
OF POSSIBILITY.
National Lineman Day is our first way of putting the mission into action: bringing young offensive and defensive linemen together to learn, connect and celebrate their place in the game.
The December 12, 2026 goal is a clinic in all 50 states. The event is presented by National Lineman Foundation in partnership with Global Football, with local coaches and communities helping bring the day home.
Clinics are in development. Free admission is proposed; final locations, ages, costs and registration details will be announced by each confirmed clinic.

OUR MISSION
DOESN’T END
AT THE WHISTLE.
Today, we’re focused on National Lineman Day. Over time, the foundation can support new ways to bring quality coaching to more young people, in more communities, around the world. The format may grow. The commitment stays the same: make the skills of the game more accessible.

YOU KNOW WHAT
IT TAKES.
HELP THEM
GET THERE.
Some linemen go on to lead companies. Some build businesses. All know what it means to create an opportunity for someone else.
We’re bringing that same spirit to the next generation. Join us in supporting National Lineman Day and making great coaching more accessible.
