17 Purchasing Your Own Equipment Purchasing Outside helmets, shoulder pads etc. Must meet safety standards You re essentially donating the items to the school/program Do not take them home or alter them in any way

18 Multiple Sport Participation We will never encourage a player to quit another sport to concentrate on football only. It is the coach s responsibility to arrange things so that the player can play multiple sports, not the player s They only get to be in high school for a short period of time. If they enjoy playing more than one sport they should do it. Club/Select/7on7 Teams We support and encourage participation in them. They help develop the skills needed to succeed But school sponsored sports come first!

19 Social Media & Electronic Devices Facebook/Facebook/Instagram. These outlets can discourage colleges and universities from recruiting your son. If your child posts inappropriate language or pictures he will receive consequences in athletics Extra Conditioning, Suspension, Dismissal. (Trash talking to opponents counts too ) Cell Phones Are not allowed to be out in any locker room.

25 What will your son get from football? 1. Structure 2. Family Atmosphere 3. Discipline 4. Brotherhood 5. It will open doors for your son (universities) Penn >80% of students = extra curricular 6. Since of Team Team Team 7. Enhanced self image. Not everyone can do what these kids are doing 8. If your son wants to play college football, he will be seen by 100 s of college coaches every year.

26 What do we expect from the players? Address concerns with coaches themselves 1 st. Their behavior/character on and off the field should never embarrass their school, family or team. Great Effort Playing good is hard playing hard is easy This program requires more than 50 minutes per day!! Cavs Course, After After, etc. Be unselfish! We have to put the needs of the team first. No other way around it.

27 What can players/parents expect from the coaches? Create a positive, enthusiastic, family atmosphere that builds confidence and character. Make sure Football is FUN! Hold your son accountable for his actions. Open line of communication with players and parents Spend more time with your sons than we do our own We will support them and will help them reach their goals.

28 What do we expect from the parents? Support at home! (Doesn t have to be agreement) Communicate with us. We re here to answer all questions. Nothing is off limits as long as it s about your kid. (we can t get into things about other children) There is no hidden agenda in regards to: teams, positions, depth chart. Every kid in this program has a chance to prove themselves on a daily basis. Who plays? Who is on Varsity? Is actually up to the players. They decide that on the field, weight room, film room, class room and on the weekends away from school. ***Some of you have coached these kids for many many years. Much longer than us But we may see their abilities differently than you. Some kids have changed a lot since elementary or middle school. Some haven t. We need to evaluate them based on what we see as they compare to our current players.
