Naples Knights Football Academy

Founder's Story

Business Description

Naples Knights Football Academy is a premier post-graduate football program in Naples, Florida, dedicated to giving overlooked, under-recruited, and second-chance athletes a direct path to college football and academic success. Founded in 2023, NKFA offers a comprehensive athlete development program that combines elite football training, competitive gameplay, and position-specific coaching with academic placement, tutoring, and standardized test preparation. Our services include student-athlete housing, nutritious meal plans, mental health support, and life skills training—ensuring every player is prepared for the next chapter on and off the field.

We partner with Keiser University and other educational institutions to help athletes improve grades, earn credits, and maintain NCAA eligibility. Our program is built on structure, discipline, and accountability, creating an environment where football talent and personal growth can flourish. Off the field, we emphasize leadership, character, and community involvement through volunteer work and outreach events across Naples and Southwest Florida.

NKFA is more than a football team—we are a development academy, a mentorship network, and a launchpad for young men determined to earn college scholarships, continue their football careers, and build successful futures. For post-grad football in Florida that prioritizes both athletic and academic excellence, NKFA is where second chances become lasting success.
