Meet The Coaches

Mark Piccirillo Jr., MHS, PA (ASCP)

I’m Mark Piccirillo, a passionate football enthusiast with extensive experience as a player and coach. My journey began in first grade as a quarterback, culminating in breaking every passing record at Shelton High School and earning the Walter Camp Foundation Player of the Year award in 2014.

I continued my career at Wesleyan University, where I set 10 school records while majoring in neuroscience. Now a Pathologists’ Assistant at Stamford Hospital with two master's degrees in biomedical sciences, I leverage my knowledge to train athletes effectively. I aim to create a supportive training environment for football players of all levels, offering resources online, and personalized training options. Train with me; enhance your game, and foster personal growth through football!

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), I'm passionate about helping athletes enhance their performance. I began my journey as a running back at Shelton High School and played for four years at the University of Connecticut, where I earned a full scholarship and served as team captain.

With a strong educational background in physical therapy, I’ve gained hands-on experience working with elite athletes and NFL players. Now, I focus on strength, conditioning, and agility training for football athletes, aiming to help you reach your full potential. I’m excited to share my expertise and support your journey on and off the field!

Mark Piccirillo Sr.

I look forward to sharing my passion for football and extensive experience with you. Football has been a central part of my life, starting at Central High School, where I earned All-State honors as a running back before playing at the University of Massachusetts (UMass). After completing my degree at the University of South Florida, I received multiple NFL tryout invitations.

For the past 25 years, I’ve dedicated myself to coaching youth and high school football, shaping countless athletes and guiding All-State quarterbacks to state championship appearances. My focus now is on developing young athletes across the state and beyond, helping them become not only top competitors but also outstanding individuals.

I leverage my experience to provide comprehensive football training that emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and personal growth. Join us to elevate your game and support your journey toward success both on and off the field.
