Multiple Sport Athletes We will never encourage a player to quit another sport toconcentrate on football only. This should not be happening with other sports either! It is the coach’s responsibility to arrange things so that the playercan play multiple sports, not the player’s They only get to be in high school for a short period of time. If theyenjoy playing more than one sport they should do it. Club/Select/7on7 Teams – We support and encourage participationin them. They help develop the skills needed to succeed Butschool sponsored sports come first!

What do we expect of the players? Be a student 1st! Then an athlete. Address concerns with coaches themselves 1st. Their behavior/character on and off the field should never embarrass theirschool, family or team. Great Effort – “Playing good is hard playing hard is easy” This program requires more than 50 minutes per day!! Cavs Course, AfterAfter, etc. Be Coachable. Willing to do whatever necessary to help this program. Position Placement Unselfish! – Not everyone can play QB, WR, etc. Team Placement Varsity, JV Black, White, Red etc. This is a family!

What can you expect from the coaches? 100% Effort into the development of the student athlete (classroom,character, work ethic, football and most of all – LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL) Create a positive, enthusiastic, family atmosphere that builds confidenceand character. Make sure Football is FUN! Hold your son accountable for his actions. Open line of communication with players and parents Help in placement/recruiting for your sons plans after high school. 24/7 – 365 – Do what is right for kids!

What do coaches need from parents? Support at home! Not necessarily agreement. Open line of communication with the coaching staff. Please follow the chain ofcommand. (our hope is that your son can address it 1st) Help us demand and expect accountability for you son: classroom, playing field, offthe field Understand that we as coaches must make decisions based on what’s best for theentire program. Placement of players (Teams – black/white/red/jv/varsity Placement of players (Positions) Let your sons to learn valuable lessons while they’re in this program . Checking them out of school when they haven’t studied for an exam, or turning in an assignment.Bringing their pads, workout clothes etc. to school during the day when they forget them.

Success“Your child’s success or lack of successin sports does not indicate the type ofparent you are. But if your child iscoachable, respectful, a great teammate,mentally tough, resilient and tries theirbest it is a direct reflection of yourparenting.”
