Cornell Sprint Football
Cornell Sprint Football has since 1936 provided the opportunity for “average sized” guys to play the game they love as an intercollegiate varsity sport. However, they quickly realize that it is so much more than just playing four more years of football. They immediately become part of the Sprint Football Family that consists of players, managers, alumni, and coaches that become friends for life.
