Follow The Football Hotbed Middle School All-American Game The Football Hotbed Middle School All-American game is the nation’s longest running all-star game for middle school athletes aiming to play beyond high school and compete for division one college football scholarships.  The purpose of the event is to pit the talented interested members of the current 6th, 7th and 8th grade classes together on one field and produce three-grade level games that push each participant to play at their best.  Because of the game’s location, South Florida, an area that is truly a ‘hotbed’ of football talent nation-wide, the game is guaranteed to have the most talent of any game around. With the local talent combined with talent from as far away as the west coast annually, Football Hotbed has produced a national platform that is approaching 200 division one participants who are alums of the event, or as we like to call them, members of our bloodline.  To nominate an athlete to participate in this event, please click on the link below.  Be sure to include all the information about the athlete including a link to film or social media tags that will display clips of their talents on the field.  Include references like your team’s head coach and any other information we can use to qualify you for this unique experience.  We’ll get back to you within 72 hours if you are selected. The QB and RB positions are the most selective as we only take four for each grade level game.  For more information and to contact us simply email us at info[at]footballhotbed.com or call us at 888-879-3396.
