OUR MISSION

  maximize CHARACTER, INTEGRITY, and the PERSONAL
  DEVELOPMENT of EVERY member

7
FAMILY

• A second family, a support system for you and
  your son. A set of eyes, a voice, an encourager,
  and a disciplinarian to help your son succeed in
  the game of life. You must trust us with
  influencing your son.

8
You always protect and honor your family!

• The FAMILY is first.
• Say the right thing
• Do the right thing
• Make good choices and decisions
• Remind them that they represent their FAMILY
  everywhere they go.

9
AS ONE

• Football is the greatest TEAM game that there is.
  It takes an entire program pulling in the same
  direction to be successful. I will ask your and
  your son to sacrifice for the sake of the
  program, for their teammates and to serve our
  school and community. A true family takes great
  joy in the success of any member!

10
Character and Integrity

• Who are you when no one is watching?
• Can I trust you to do and say the right thing?
• Can I trust you when things are not going your
  way?
• Are you a MAN of your word?

11
Personal Development

• I cannot guarantee your son will be a starter or
  even play significantly. I can guarantee that
  after four years in our program he will be a
  better student, person and athlete.

12
Communication

• I will answer any and all calls or emails
  regarding the academic and social welfare of you
  son.
• I will not discuss playing time, football
  strategy, or another player
• CHAIN OF COMMAND- Son needs to advocate for
  himself
• 1. I demand that my coaches keep your son
  informed on what he needs to do to improve. If
  he is not sure he can schedule a meeting with his
  position coach.
• 2. If he does not feel like he has a clear
  understanding of what he needs to do then he can
  meet with his position coach and myself.

13
