The Miami Dolphins yesterday surprised the Santaluces Community High School football team with equipment to help create a safer and healthier environment for their programs. The donated equipment included Dolphins branded shirts, medicine balls, cleats, water bottles, step overs, footballs and Gatorade product. The team also had the opportunity to hear from Dolphins alum and Youth Programs Ambassador Twan Russell about being resilient.

      The Dolphins have had success with foreign players in the past, whether it was England native Jay Ajayi or Cyprus-born kicker Garo Yepremian — not to mention former Canadian Football League star Cameron Wake — and they’re hoping for another success story with Durval Queiroz Neto.

The Miami Dolphins today hosted more than 800 local youth and high school coaches at their fourth annual Coaches Clinic presented by Nike and supported by Ephesus Sports Lighting and Gatorade at Hard Rock Stadium. Coaches from Charleston Southern University, Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, the University of Central Florida, the University of Miami and St. Thomas University taught 33 different classroom and on-field sessions focused on game and practice techniques, motivational tools and core football competencies.

On Sunday the Dolphins pulled out a big win against the rival Bills to bring their record to 6-6. With that 6-6 record the Dolphins are still alive and in the hunt for the wild card spot in the playoffs
