Coaches Wanted for the 2023 Flag and Fall Football Season

The biggest responsibility of a youth sports coach is not only to be the person who teaches kids the fundamentals of sport but to also be a positive leader and exceptional role model.
If you :
  • Dress appropriately, be prepared and show up on time and expect the same from your players
  • Have a positive attitude and be enthusiastic. Encourage kids both involved in the action and on the bench to cheer, support and demonstrate team unity and spirit. Excitement is contagious and it starts with you.
  • Support the responsibilities and decisions of the referee. If you disagree with a call, remain calm and ask a direct question about a specific moment in the game, when the time is appropriate. Kids are easily influenced and watch your every move so think about how to act when facing adversity because they will copy you.
  • Don’t tolerate bad behavior such as poor sportsmanship, negative body language, poor commitment and flat effort levels. Address these issues immediately while being observant to the cause. If you need to put a kid on the bench, even the “best, most talented kid,” for bad behaviors, go for it.
  • Make sure all children shake hands with the opposition players and coaches after each and every game regardless of the score. No exceptions.
  • Teach responsibility and accountability by making sure each child knows the consequence of showing a lack of effort or simply not wanting to play. Plus, ensure even the youngest of kids know what they need to play such as shoes, a drink bottle and a uniform. Don’t do everything for them and make them think for themselves, encouraging the parents to be on board too.
  • Teach resilience by not letting children sulk because they lost or because they got injured. Work with them and support them by highlighting the positive aspects of the game and what they achieved.
  • Be aware of the children who lack self-confidence and how each player responds to stress, loud noises and high stimulation.
  • Emphasize the importance of academics first and foremost particularly as the kids reach older age groups. This “one and down” phrase could be doing more to kid’s mental states and effort levels then we think.
  • If you have these beliefs and attributes we want you on our team
