Football is undeniably the most injury-prone sport our students will play.  Every year across the U.S., almost a dozen high-school football players will experience a game-related injury that will leave the athlete paralyzed.  In many cases, these injuries might have been prevented.

The injured students will continue to fight their football-related injury, long after the game is over and the stadium is empty.  They will face challenges and struggles greater than most of us will never know.   They will also experience accomplishments equal to the challenges they face.  These young athletes are courageous and as dedicated in their life after the injury as they were before.  Their indomitable spirit is the spirit of a Gridiron Warrior and is the inspiration and essence of the Gridiron Alliance. 

The Gridiron Alliance is dedicated to bringing people together to help make school sports, and in particular football, as safe as it can be and to reach out to young athletes and their families to help them deal with the aftermath of their catastrophic injury.
