"Football for Life," a USA Football documentary about the
Long Beach Poly (Long Beach, Calif.) football team, debuted this weekend.
The series will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the day-to-day dedication and teamwork of one of the nation's most storied programs.
Antonio Pierce, former Washington Redskins and New York Giants linebacker, is the team's second-year coach.
Long Beach Poly is off to a strong start in 2015, after beating Narbonne 20-17 on Friday to move to 2-0 on the season.
It has one of the nation's most rigorous schedules, however. Its next game is a road matchup with the nation's No. 1 team,
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.). It will travel to take on
De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) in October.
New episodes of Football for Life will appear on
FootballforLife.com.
