he MHSFCA finished its December Recruiting Nights with the “Night” at Walled Lake Western on Thursday, 10 December. WLW was the last of nine Recruiting Nights held across Michigan during the first two weeks of December. The 2015 round of Recruiting
Nights kicked off in Grayling on December first. The Association’s first “Recruiting Fairs” were held in December of 2011 and drew coaches from 28 colleges and 65 high schools to seven events. This Fall, nine high school locations saw 127 high school coaches visit 34 colleges. While we didn’t keep track of prospects attendance in 2011, the number of prospects that attended the events was just a handful. This year’s Recruiting Nights saw over 530 prospects (and many of their parents) attend the nine events. The Recruiting Nights are designed to bring high school coaches together with college coaches in a relaxed, out-of-school atmosphere. In the first part of the evening, high school coaches seat themselves at cafeteria or library

tables and college coaches come to them to get information on potential prospects and to “network”. Even in years when a high school may not have a viable prospect for a particular college, the visit helps to establish a relation-ship between the coaches, something that’s difficult to do during the school day. In the second part of the evening, prospects - freshmen through seniors - and their parents enter the facility and move between the colleges’ displays, meeting the college coaches or representatives and filling out information sheets for those colleges in which they have an interest. Prospects and parents learn about the football programs, but also find out about admissions procedures, costs and financial aid. The Association thanks the coaches of the nine high schools who hosted this year’s Recruiting Nights (most of whom have hosted since the beginning): Tim Sanchez, Graying; David Janicki, Hartford; David Howes, Escanaba; Noel Dean, Lowell; Gary Griffith, Troy; Jerry Parker, Carman Ainsworth; Scott Farley, Jackson; Mark Tyler, Edsel Ford; Mike Zdebski, Walled Lake Western. While we still have a lot of high school coaches who haven’t taken advantage of the Recruiting Nights (for some the distances are too great or the schedule just doesn’t work), more and more MHSFCA member coaches are finding the Recruiting Night experience rewarding for themselves and especially for their athletes and their athletes’ parents. We hope this will continue next fall.

eadlines about concussions in football have the game under attack. The truth is the game has never been safer. Rules changes, equipment improvements, and practice and
game rules have made high school football and athlet-ics a great option for young people to play. Playing high school sports teaches young people life lessons. Our commitment to keeping youth, middle school and high school football safe is real. Many of the things you see in the media are related to issues that occurred in the NFL in past years. The com-mitment of the MHSAA and National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has made high school football a safe and fun game for young people. As a football dad, I cannot imagine the high school experience of my son without the game of football.
Yes, Kids Should Play Football!Brad Bush, Chelsea High School
If you have concerns about your son or daughter participating in the game of football, please review the information included in the links below. If you ever have questions about football or athletics in general, please contact your local youth, middle school or high school coach or the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association at MHSFCA.com.

fter establishing All Star dominance over Ohio the past two seasons the MHSFCA will be going back to the East vs. West format for 2016. As we move forward in planning for the game, you as
coaches should be aware of your responsibilities that will go a long way to making this year’s game a tremendous experience for the players, coaches, and football fans from across the state. First, and probably most importantly, please check your emails for the electronic nomination forms that were sent out the week of December 7th. This year we are not requiring each All Star team to have a certain number of players from the classes A, B, C, and D but, instead are requiring each team to have at least one representative from each MHSFCA region across the state. The West team will be made-up players from, Regions 1-9 plus an

The rest of the 40 man roster will be filled with “at-large” selections with no more than one player from an individual high school. With these new roster requirements it is more impor-tant than ever that we get at least one nomination from each coach across the state. Nominations will be due no later than January 15th with the final rosters being selected early in February. The All Star committee is very excited about the future of our game and the East-West format. We will be giving 80 deserving players a great experience and at the same time showcasing everything that is great about high school football in our state.

Coach-To-CoachMentoring Program
ver had a question about how to do your job as a coach and not know where to turn for an answer? Need the name of an experienced coach who you could talk to in confidence about answering that question - or solving that problem? The MHSFCA has initiated a new “mentoring” program that you can turn to for this kind of help. Called Coach-To-Coach,
that is exactly what it is. Experienced coaches who have a long standing relationship with the MHSFCA (Past Presidents, Regional Directors, Committee Members, etc.) have agreed to have their names and contact information listed at MHSFCA.com as volunteer mentors. If you have something you need help with, look over the list, contact one (or more) of the Coach-To-Coach volunteers. Each of the volunteers has several years of coaching experience. Get their advice. It’s free and confidential.
Find the list of Coach-To-Coach volunteers at MHSFCA.com
