      Play It Smart

        Play it Smart's mission is to help student-athletes take responsibility for their futures through lessons learned on the playing field, in the classroom and in service to others.

        In 1998, The NFF created Play It Smart, an educational program targeted at high school football players from economically disadvantaged environments where family and community support are often lacking.
