Timothy is 12 years old and autistic. His journey began in 2013 when he attended the Philadelphia Eagles Huddle Up for Autism event. He became an Eagles fan for life. Just a few weeks later, he was assigned a new behavioral specialist who is also a football coach. He thought it would be a good experience for Timothy to play football. We spent months preparing him to be a part of the football team, and he is surpassing all of our expectations with his hard work, persistence, and dedication.
An Unforgettable and Undefeatable Season

2015 Season Begins!!!
Van Reed Bulldog football practice has officially begun. Timothy is so excited!! I am excited for him. After last year's great season, he helped out on the school wrestling team, practicing with them, video-taping their matches, and getting acclimated to the sport so he will be ready to compete this coming season. After wrestling season, he started to regress. He was lost without the physical activity and the socialization aspect in a team setting. We realized that this boy needs sports, and its finally time for football again!!
