Rosedale Jets Football: Powered by Purpose is more than a book about football—it's a story of legacy, leadership, and growth on and off the field. Told through ten powerful chapters, this inspiring middle-grade collection follows young athletes from Southeast Queens as they navigate the triumphs, trials, and traditions of one of New York’s most respected youth football programs. From grueling practices and academic accountability to community service and championship moments, every page reflects the spirit of what it means to wear Black and Gold. Readers will meet unforgettable characters like Malik, who finds belonging on his first day; Elijah, whose quiet discipline earns him the Paul Robeson Trophy; and Jayden, a senior whose leadership defines a generation. With themes of teamwork, resilience, and pride, Rosedale Jets Football captures the heart behind the helmet—and the purpose behind every play. Whether you're a young athlete, a parent, or a lifelong fan of youth sports, this book reminds us all: 🏈 It’s not just a game. It’s a way of life.
