Plot Synopsis

A SEASON WITH NAVY FOOTBALL is a half-hour series that features never-before-seen access into the lives of the football players and coaches at the storied Service Academy. The weekly series introduces viewers to a team that embodies the term "student athlete," young men who sacrifice on and off the field in preparation for serving their country for a minimum of five years. As viewers will learn, the Midshipmen approach the game with the same goal of gridiron glory as players in other major college football programs but with unique demands off the field. Plus, the series takes viewers behind the scenes as the midshipmen return for their 137th season and 10th under head coach Ken Niumatalolo, documenting Navy's preparation for each matchup of the 2017 season, the pageantry and the intensity on game day, while showcasing the requisite selflessness and dedication it takes to compete at the Naval Academy. From grueling summer practices to the annual rivalry showdown with Army, A SEASON WITH NAVY FOOTBALL delivers all the sights, sounds and drama as Navy aims to conquer the 2017 season while developing future leaders of America's military. A SEASON WITH NAVY FOOTBALL premiered four days after Navy began its season on the road against Florida Atlantic University.
