There’s a powerful philosophy: "A rising tide lifts all boats."

At Northern Michigan Youth Athletics (NMYA), we are adopting this as a core principle. We are proud to announce Project: Rising Tide, a comprehensive, year-round training program designed not just to build our 'Cubs' teams, but to elevate the entire culture of youth football across Northern Michigan.

We are dedicated to a traditional approach to the game, one that values toughness, teamwork, and accountability. This project is our commitment to that mission on a community-wide scale. We believe a stronger, more skilled, and more disciplined football community benefits everyone—every player, every team, and every school.

For that reason, our new camps, clinics, and conditioning sessions are open to ALL athletes from any program who are committed to improving themselves.
