“
We started Football University four years ago with a focus on teaching serious athletes high-level technique andskills across a variety of positions
,” said Rich McGuinness, president of AAG. “We quickly saw an
insatiable appetiteand need for our teaching and quickly expanded across the U.S. and into Canada due to demand. Last year we
ventured into Europe and we’re blown away by the level of talent, realizing that it was truly the next hotbed of 
talent. Just as we saw in 2000 the need for a national high school all-star game and created the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, we see today the need for an international all-
star game matching individual country’s best against each other. And there’s no place better to showcase this event than during the premier U.S. Army All
-American
Bowl Week.”
