PARENT POINTERS
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
FOOTBALL
1. We strive to
treat our players
like our sons. We
will LOVE and
DISCIPLINE
them.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
EMOTION
Football is an emotional game, and
we coach it as such.
We coach hard, sometimes loudly,
and aggressively.
Our practices are always open and
you are welcome to watch, but
beware – it will be intense.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
PRIORITIES
We believe, stress,
and teach
priorities:
FAMILY,
ACADEMICS,
FAITH, and
FOOTBALL –
knowing full well
that football is the
last priority.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
ACADEMICS
Our program will require weekly academic
progress reports.
All players will attend study tables.
If your son needs “extra” attention, make sure he
gets it.
Many of our teachers offer help before or after
school. Try to schedule help before school so they
will not miss practice.
If a teacher is not willing to meet before school,
then we will excuse them for a few minutes after
school. Please make an effort to schedule before
school.

ATTENTION
We will require your son’s undivided
attention when we are coaching him.
We expect him to reply “Yes Sir, No
Sir” or “Yes Coach, No Coach”

THE TEAM
The TEAM will always come first.
We have no stars.
No one player is more important
than the TEAM.
It is not our job to bring glory to
your son – it is your son’s job to
bring glory to the TEAM.

FOOTBALL - DISCIPLINE
We may require your son to be more disciplined
than you do. If he is anything but a gentleman at
school, there will be some consequences at
practice.
We expect your child to dress appropriately when
they are representing the football team.
We will do our best when your son is on our
watch. We ask that you do the same when he is
on yours.
This includes enforcing curfew, knowing where he
is, and who he is hanging with.
Proper nutrition and rest are key elements to
allow your son to be successful. Make sure he
eats and drinks plenty of the right things.

FOOTBALL – PLAYING TIME
We do not play kids to make them happy.
Playing time is earned, not given.
We will make a commitment at the
freshman and JV levels to play all players
in every game. How much they play is up
to them.
The sole purpose of the lower levels is to
develop players to become varsity players.
How soon that is, is up to them.

WHY ATHLETES PLAY
Athletes are played because they
have great attitude, they do the
things that are required, they add
the most value to the TEAM, they
understand their role on the TEAM,
they understand their number one
goal is to make the TEAM better, and
they do their job better than anyone
else.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
INFLUENCE
A parent’s influence or position makes no
difference. We do not play favorites.
You should get involved in the booster
club-not because you think it will help
your son get more playing time-but
because it’s the right thing to do.
We appreciate all of your time and
financial support.
Your donations and $$ will be put to good
use: summer camps, video equipment,
football equipment, etc.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
TEAM 1ST
We put players in
positions that will
best benefit the
TEAM.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
SCHOLARSHIPS
It is not up to me to get your son a
scholarship. It is up to him. I will do
everything in my power through contacts,
sending film, NATS, phone calls, etc.
The bottom line – it is on your son.
Academics and character play a huge role!
If your son wants to play college football,
we will work hard to find a place that is
right for him.

EVALUATION
Evaluation of your
son happens 24
hours a day, 7
days a week, 365
days a year.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
DEPTH
Players who do not work out with the
TEAM, come to summer camp, or do
not attend summer/off-season
workouts (provided they are not in
another sport) will start at the
bottom of the depth chart.
We will reward players who have
shown a steady commitment to the
program.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
MEETINGS
Schedule meetings with me in advance.
Remember our philosophy when
evaluating a situation – the TEAM comes
first.
My door is always open and so is my
mind; please have the same attitude.
I will always want the player present at
any meeting that concerns him.
Please require your son to talk to me
before you schedule a meeting.
Hopefully all conflicts can be resolved
before a meeting is needed.
http://coachlynchfootball.weebly.com
COMMUNITY
We have great people in this community.
Our program strives to create a FAMILY
atmosphere.
It will take effort from all parties involved
to develop a role-model program.
Let’s roll up our sleeves and get busy.
Together, we can all make a difference in
molding our future fathers, husbands, and
leaders.
