• Treat teachers with respect– If you work with your teachers, they will work with you

• Plan your day to get assignments done– Do not use football as an excuse for not doing your work

• Parents help set times for schoolwork• If you need help, ask your teacher politely. Ask your coaches for

help• We will check to see how you are doing in terms of grades and

behavior!!!

If you don’t meet eligibility requirements, you can’t play. We can’t change your

grades and wouldn’t if we could. We’ll help you get whatever help you need, but we won’t do the work for you or arrange

for you to get a grade you didn’t earn

nutrition• Make sure your son is hydrated– Their urine should be no darker than lemonade

• Support our program– Help us build unity– If you criticize the coaches in front of your son, he is not going

to listen to us—you are the most influential person in his life– Please consider joining the Booster Club!!!

Problems

If there is a problem, discuss it with a coach. We will be happy to talk with you about what your son can do to be a better player or a better student and about what he needs to do to improve.

We will NEVER discuss playing time with parents.

Expectations for Players

• Be an example of the right kind of man on and off the field

• Commit yourself to excellence. No excuses!• Work hard. “The harder you work, the harder it

is to surrender”• Develop yourself physically through our weight,

agility and running program• Listen to your coaches and follow their

instructions

Expectations of Players

• Communicate with the coaches• Work and play as a team• Do not let outside influences be distractions

from the team goals or your individual goals• Read your calendar and keep up with

scheduled events each week

Practice Attendance

• You are expected to be at practice, on time, every day. If you are not going to be at practice, you MUST let a coach know in advance. If you are not at practice and I don’t know where you are, we have a serious problem. First offense, you will run extra and are subject to sitting out a game. Second offense, you will sit out a game and may be dismissed from the team. Third offense, no question, you’re gone.

Basic Rule

• Do what you’re supposed to do, where you are supposed to be doing it, and when you are supposed to be doing it.

Social Media

• Do not post anything on social media that will be detrimental to the team– Don’t post negative comments about team or

teammates– Don’t post negative comments about opponents– Don’t give away sensitive information about our

team– Don’t post about drugs and alcohol– People know who you are and I will find out. Once

you post it, it’s out there for all the world to see

College Scholarships

• I don’t have any to hand out• I will assist your son in any way to get his film

and information to college coaches• I will be honest with your son about his

prospects of playing in college• I will introduce him to coaches who visit if I

feel he can play at their school• Hudl is a great tool for recruiting

You must have the proper grades and test scores.You must be the right size.

You must run the right speed.You must play the position the college is looking

to fill.You must have the proper attitude and work

ethic.

How to Attract Attention• Have good game film• Attend a one-day camp at the college!!!• You can do a combine. If you are invited to attend Nike,

UnderArmour, Rivals, or Scout combines you should attend. You can attend a Shrine Bowl combine if you are a really good senior. Other than that, combines are run to make money for people—not to get you a scholarship. College coaches can’t attend them anymore. Go to the one day camp at the college instead!!!!

• DO NOT PAY ANYONE ANY MONEY to help you get a scholarship. They will do nothing that your coaches don’t already do for free. They are taking your money!!!
