Program Philosophy • To instill a passion for the game of football into each one of my players

and the school community.

• To help each player set personal and team goals and push them to meet those through a disciplined effort.

• Academic and Athletic College Readiness

• Provide our players with an opportunity to understand the importance of teamwork and discipline and how it relates to their future.

• To establish a family that pulls together for each other and can be counted on in good and tough times.

• I believe football gives young men an outlet to be risk takers in a healthy arena and they will learn how to deal with successes and failures with class and grace.

• My hope is that our team will play with passion and pride, and leave a legacy of success for future players.

Sideline PRACTICE

Every football player is required to have 12 days of practice before they can participate in a game. (IHSA)

Attendance

We believe that for our athletes to be successful it is essential that they attend all scheduled practices.

If your athlete has to miss a practice for a good reason then we will need a parent contact before the end of the day. You must contact the head coach for each level by e-mail or a phone message. We would rather not hear it from the athlete or from one of their friends. Please do not feel that it is a trust issue. We would hope you would want us to know where your child is if they miss. The athlete is also expected to be in attendance at the designated times for all meetings, practices and games. Being late can disrupt the learning environment that has already begun. If they are injured they must still attend all team activities scheduled if possible.

If it is an excused absence they will be expected to make up any missed work as they owe it to their teammates to catch up. Two excused absences or more may result in missed playing time.

If it is an unexcused absence then the athlete will lose playing time, or not dress for that game. Two unexcused absences will result in the athlete losing the privilege of being on the team.

If the athlete has an excused tardy they will be expected to make up any missed work as they owe it to their teammates to catch up. Again, we must have a parent call or e-mail to the appropriate level head coach that day. Two excused tardies or more may result in missed playing time.

Player evaluation• One of our roles as coaches is to decide who plays, how

much each player plays, and when they play. These decisions are primarily in the hands of the position coaches with input from the coordinator and the head coach.

• We would rather play you a “week late” rather than a “week early”. This means that we would rather have you “totally” ready to play rather than “not quite” ready.

• Many aspects make up the criteria for deciding who plays and when. Position, depth, and circumstances certainly play a part. Ultimate criteria comes down to the following:• Confidence in the player on and off of the field. • Confidence in the player’s ability to do what he is

supposed to do• The player’s ability and potential to make a big play

within the system• Consistency of performance• LeadershipThese five criteria will determine who plays and how much the

player plays. We evaluate each player daily in our staff meetings. We are aware that everyone wants to play and so we are as careful as humanly possible to be fair in all of our evaluations. You must remember that practice is the major way to demonstrate your level of competency

Evaluations every day, every way.

Academics and Behavior Athletes will be passing a minimum of 5 classes each week ( U-46 ) Athletes on the varsity should strive to make academic all-conference (3.5 GPA) Athletes will participate in their classes, and submit work on time. Athletes will seek extra help from their teachers if not performing well. Athletes that are academically ineligible will be expected to try to meet with that

teacher daily for extra help before they come to practice. They must have documentation from that teacher. They are still expected to come to practice and participate.

Athletes that are academically ineligible two weeks in a row may be subject to further interventions. This may also result in losing the privilege of being part of the team.

Athletes that become at risk students may be required to carry a “weekly academic checklist” that will help us monitor and motivate that student.

All student athletes are required to follow the IHSA and U-46 Code of Conduct 24/7/365.

Academic Study Table• Our Goal is to continually improve the retention

of the football players, our team grade point average, and the graduation rate of the football program.

• All Freshmen football players will attend a mandatory study table twice a week during the season after practice.

• Any sophomore-senior player that is on the eligibility warning list or below a 2.5 cumulative GPA will be responsible for attending Academic Study hall two nights per week after practice.

• Attendance will be taken by one of the coaches.

College Recruitment My goal is persuade all of my players to play at the next level

• . I believe there is a college for every type of player if he loves the game.

Create a spreadsheet outlining player strengths and send it out to via email as many coaches as possible.

Develop a rapport with a variety of college coaches that is based on trust.

Provide all players with the necessary paperwork and expectations to ensure that they can make an educated decision on their goals for playing college football.

Provide players with opportunities to visit local campuses during a game day.

• Provide players with opportunities to meet with visiting coaches.

• Provide films to college coaches upon request and to use our networks to showcase our players talents.

• Provide players access to accountable recruitment services.

• Create a player profile sheet and send it to the schools that players are interested in and other established collegiate programs.

• Remind the player that his primary reason for going to college is to pursue a life career. Education should be the most important consideration.

Only about 2 percent of high school athletes win sports scholarships every year at NCAA colleges and universities.
