Mayde Creek Junior High Football Program
Objectives
The main objectives of the MCJH Football Program are to teach the fundamentals of the game
of football to young men in a safe manner while creating a sense of community, a sense of
confidence and teamwork. The MCJH experience will hopefully turn into a journey taking them
into Mayde Creek High School’s Football Program. Our goal is to have every MCJH player enter
the Mayde Creek High School Football program with a solid understanding of their system and
expectations.
1. Through the football experience, our athletes are expected to become better people. It is
the intent of the program to teach more than football fundamentals. Players should become
more accountable and responsible for their actions on and off the field.
2. Football is a game to be enjoyed. In order to enjoy the game, it must be played safely and
correctly. Our athletes will be required to practice safety and correct form at all times.
3. Good sportsmanship will be stressed and expected from every athlete. This will be
emphasized and practiced on a daily basis. Win or lose, our players will accept each outcome
appropriately and with the utmost integrity.
4. Athletics play an important role in the school but is not independent of the school. Each
student athlete will conduct themselves in a manner that is a positive reflection on our athletics
program. They will be held to a high standard of behavior that will have a beneficial impact on
the school culture.
5. Each Athletic Department staff member will be knowledgeable and competent. Their
priority will be to educate our student athletes at the highest level possible. Football skills and
techniques will be taught to our students in a way that is engaging and proper.
