Coaches CommentWe are happy to welcome all players and parents to this year's football season. We are hopeful that this will be the most exciting and rewarding football season you've ever experienced. Our goal is to develop well-rounded young men and women who learn not only the fundamentals of football, but also the importance of education, in an atmosphere conductive to developing sound mind, body and character - and having a good time along the way. We practice the ideals of sportsmanship, scholarship and physical fitness. Our program stresses learning lessons of value far beyond the playing days, such as, self-discipline, teamwork, concentration, friendship, leadership, and, good sportsmanship. We, as coaches, will do our very best to ensure that each player is utilized to his utmost potential and their talents are used for the team's best advantage. The team comes before individuals. Safety is our top concern. Many of the exercises, drills, and team rules are there to ensure your child is physically and mentally fit for football. Each child is unique and develops at their own pace. We will exercise their bodies and minds in an effort to develop the skills needed to execute the game of football. Parent Coach Co-Operation Parents are as important to the success of the team as the players. Coaches and parents must work together. Please keep the coaches informed about problems that my be going on with your child If the child has been sick, taking medication, or going through some emotional trauma. Parents and coaches must communicate with mutual respect. Parents and coaches reserve the right to postpone conversations that are getting out of hand. Heated discussions have no place in front of the players. Player Positions During the first few weeks of practice the coaches will decide the best position for each player. A players ability, desire, and attitude plays a large role in the position they play. The player who has a bad attitude, who is oversensitive, or who demonstrates any sort of problem with a position will not do as well. A negative attitude is costly. Remember the unsung heroes are the offensive and defensive linemen. When selecting starting players, attitude, effort, and desire usually wins. |
