THE CORE: CHAMPIONING OPPORTUNITIES, RESOURCES AND ENGAGEMENT

The NFLPA prides itself in providing world class service, superior support and solidarity throughout each player’s lifecycle. As part of our expanded mission, we are also working to improve awareness, create transparency, and empower members' spouses/significant others, and their families. 

The CORE is dedicated to delivering exceptional service and unwavering support, and fostering unity throughout every stage of a player's journey. We’re committed to serving as a resource and ensuring that you are aware of the benefits the NFLPA has negotiated on behalf of the players, as well as the programs designed to enhance their off-field experiences.

As a member of the CORE (formerly the Ladies Council), you will have access to the following:

• Email Newsletters to you featuring various NFLPA resources offered (check out the most recent issue here)
• Webinars hosted by subject matter experts featuring an anonymous forum allowing you to ask questions that are important to you while maintaining privacy.
• A network to build bonds with other family members who are in your shoes

History of The CORE

In 2020, the NFLPA Board of Reps established the “Ladies Council” which was created to enhance awareness and utilization of all programs, benefits, and resources for player spouses, significant others, and/or family members. In 2024, we opened the group to embrace all support members of players' inner circles.

We are proud to provide world-class service and support to each player throughout his journey. You are a huge part of helping players navigate their careers, and we want you to feel educated, engaged, and empowered as well. 

We’re committed to ensuring that you are aware of the benefits the NFLPA has negotiated for all players, as well as the programs designed to enhance their off-field experiences.  

The NFLPA is dedicated to assisting players and their families, both during and beyond their time on the field. Explore the various resources and opportunities available to you. Discover how we can support you in all aspects of life.
