WHEN ONE SEASON ISN'T ENOUGH.
Elevate your game with Underdawgz Football.
Our Mission
At the heart of The Underdawgz is a strong emphasis on respect—for coaches, teammates, opponents, and the game itself—and a relentless commitment to hard work. Athletes are expected to show up, give maximum effort, and support one another through challenges, fostering a culture of accountability and mutual growth. This disciplined environment not only prepares players for success in football but also shapes them into respectful, hardworking individuals ready to lead in any arena. Our rally cry is "Nobody Cares. Work Harder." Complaints get you nowhere, but working hard does.
2026 SPRING GET TOGETHER
Underdawgz Football is winding down our spring season and wanted to do something fun for our last practice. We are opening it up to any current Alhambra football players (including those that have only been to Spring practice) to come join us for some 7on7 scrimmages on Sunday 5/17 from 4-6 at Hidden Lakes field in Martinez. We will skip our normal conditioning and go straight into scrimmages. This is open to all players, regardless of position. Heck, if we get enough linemen out we will do a big man scrimmage. THIS IS A FREE EVENT, BUT PLAYERS MUST HAVE PARENTS SIGN THIS WAIVER TO PARTICIPATE. They will not be allowed to participate without a signed waiver on file. Please have this completed by Saturday at midnight so we can compile teams.
About Us
My name is Stephen Parini. I started the Underdawgz in 2025 for one simple reason: my son and his friends wanted to play more football. Not just throw the ball around, but put in work to get better for the fall. It was their passion and drive to improve that fueled this fire. I was fortunate enough to have a great friend, Zack Martin, dive in headfirst with me to get this thing going. We rented fields and got to work. The players had fun, got better, and want some more! More is what they will get in 2026. Coach Zack is the Director of Football Operations for the Underdawgz and I am the President.
We focus on growth, not winning. We have high expectations of our players on and off the field. Football is a privilege, not a right. We take this seriously. We are not for everyone. We do not put up with prima donna behavior. Though a little trash talking is part of the game, blatant disrespect of teammates, coaches, officials, parents, or really anyone is not tolerated. Being lazy will not be tolerated. Players will be warned once, and then kicked out of the program. We expect this behavior to extend to the community and the classroom. We want these athletes to not only be better players, but better people. If this is your speed, reach out today to find out more.
