With travel expenses adding up, these young players are looking for help from the community. Their perfect 12-0 season has gotten fans excited all across southwest Florida.

Running back Daniel Cheremond shared his keys to success with WINK News. “To be confident and just trust your teammates and hype your teammates up when they’re down.”

Experienced coach Kelby Tyre brings 17 years of coaching experience to the team. His love for the game comes from when he played, where his own coaches taught him how to turn young players into winners. The coaches work with the kids and parents to teach determination, self-control, and staying calm under pressure.

Going for a national title is something this talented team has never done before. If they win, it would be huge for local sports history.

Games start Saturday at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Walt Disney World, where the best teams from around the country will play in a three-day tournament.

The Fort Myers Firecats have started a GoFundMe to help these young players chase their championship dreams.
