Items For 2009 Coaches - Continually Updated
- All coaches must be certified with NYSCA, Background checks are also required, Contact Us for more information.
- We will not teach or use "cut" blocking
- We will not teach or use "crack-back" blocking, "pick" blocking is allowed
- If a coach has a child on the team, all team decisions should benefit each player on the team, like they are the coach's own child. Coaches should not use their position to advance a private agenda for their own child.
- There are no playing time rules with the Butler Couty Youth Football League, but the Wolfpack has established the following guidelines for its coaches: Players qualify for preferred positions based on skill/physical play, attitude, effort and attendance. All players must be trained to play offense and defense, even if they don't play on both sides during games.
- Coaches should familiarize themselves with first aid techniques. All bloody injuiries and body fluid accidents must be cleaned up and covered before participation resumes. Coaches must communicate with parents about any injury causing the child to sit out of practice or a game.
- Coaches should always include another coach when approached by a parent to talk about their child's performance and/or participation. If a supporter (i.e. parent) of a player interferes with coaching during a game, that player will be immediately pulled out of the game for the rest of the quarter and will not return until the disturbance ends. Further disturbances could result in the player being suspended.
- The Miami Valley Wolfpack promotes an ATOD Free environment. All alcohol, all tobacco, all other drugs are forbidden by all adults and children.
- Coaches should communicate a clear and consistent attendance and discipline program. For example: 1st offense-Verbal warning, 2nd offense-Exercise ? push-ups, laps, 3rd offense-Time-out, send to Head Coach and a call home with possible reduced playing time and/or suspended practice time.
- The Miami Valley Wolfpack maintains a philosphy that winning games is a priority, but not the only prioirty. The pursuit of winning should result from a team oriented effort where the individual players and coaches strive to use their given talents to ultimately glorify God.
