Hello Outchool community. I am a middle school football coach in Houston, Texas. I love all things football including fantasy football. Did you know that fantasy football is a multi-billion dollar business? That's right. People make a living off of a game that's really fun to play. Not only is it fun, but their a many jobs working in the fantasy football industry. Sports broadcasting, media sites, blogs, newspapers, and more have jobs available for knowledgeable fantasy football fans. But, you have to learn the game somewhere in order to get started. In this class students will learn the basics of fantasy football. The course will primarily focus on the drafting aspect of Fantasy Football because that is the first step to playing the game. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in engaging conversations with their peers about football. 

The students will learn about different types of leagues, scoring, draft strategies, waiver wire transactions, and resources to help guide them. After students finish this course they will have the tools they need to draft and participate in actual fantasy leagues. In fact they are able to join one of my ongoing classes where students participate in real leagues with other peers on Outschool during the NFL season. 

Students will also receive a curated tip sheet to help them continue to build on their knowledge of fantasy football. After each learning session students will get to test their skills by participating in a mock draft. They will practice live drafting and creating a team of their own. The class will consist of short lecture, lots of peer interaction, and actual experience with creating a fantasy team. Students do not need any prior knowledge to participate in this class. We will be using actual fantasy football apps and related materials.

Class Structure:
1. Fantasy Fundamentals Lesson
2. Q&A Session (Tips and Tricks)
3. Live Mock Draft (Students log onto an actual draft and practice creating a team of their own)
4. Open Discussion about draft and teams

This will be a hands on and very social class. I look forward to seeing you guys soon.
