2019 Super Sports Weekend
EVENT ORGANIZERS

The Annual Super Football Weekend is brought to you by the following organizer's of the event:

Knights of Miami Sports Association

The Knights of Miami Sports Association started out as a tiny little dream in the mind of Jesse Wiggins. Who would have thought that seventeen years later it would be the organization it is today and still expanding?

The Knights are a part of an association of minor leaque football teams playing throughout the state of Florida, they have been League Champions for four consecutive years and eight-time Division Champions. In June, 1997, Coach Jesse was inducted into the American Football Association Hall of Fame in 1997 in Canton, Ohio, and the Minor League Football News Hall of Fame in Mesquite, Nevada, in 2004, for his coaching, dedication and commitment to minor league football.

From the beginning, the Knights made an impact on the community and the young adults who participated in its program. Through the program they get a second chance at a college education and/or employment if applicable, they can continue to compete athletically, and they have something positive to do. Our program provides the young men in this community the opportunity to grow. To date, we have had over sixty-four (64) members return to school many of whom have returned and are now teaching and coaching at the high school level in the Miami Dade School System.

Not all of our members are interested in continuing their education, some have already completed college, some are employed, but they all miss the competition, friendship and cohesiveness that team sports brings. They all have a sense of family and start looking out for each other. What a good feeling to know that you played a small part. With a program such as ours, your life is no longer your own, you are always on call. You are family. We share in all the accomplishments and disappointments, all the joys and pains of each other.

For those interested in pursuing their football aspirations, our program exposes them to the coaches and scouts of the National, Canadian, European, and Arena Football Leagues. Some of our players become coaches for the Association. Some of them, while playing for us, coach little league baseball and optimist football but they all continue their commitment to the community. In addition, some of our members have appeared in two movies..."Ace Ventura Pet Detective" and "Any Given Sunday", and three commercials...Flex-All with Joe Namath and "Mean" Joe Green and Reebox with Emmitt Smith, and a Spike Lee directed commercial for Mountain Dew Code Red.

Not only do we help those who are members, we also reach out to the community by providing care baskets to the needy during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. With community support and the help of numerous volunteers, we are able to feed over 100 families each year.

Have you ever been so excited that you could not sleep? Or been so proud that you thought your heart would burst? We are quite sure that you have. What a wonderful feeling!! If you want to again experience that wonderful, exhilarating feeling of being so proud and excited, come join us in our efforts. It will be well worth it.
