PARENT/GUARDIAN LETTER



PARENT/GUARDIAN LETTER

Dear Parents/Guardian:

We are happy to have your son as a candidate for the ____ football team. We feel confident this team will carry on the tradition of outstanding football in the always tough .

At , we believe strongly that football is part of the total educational effort. The coaching staff believes that the game of football offers many opportunities to learn the lessons of life. We know you are intensely interested in having your son become a fine young man and we assure you this is our keenest desire also.

Three of the most important aspects of every man's life are his physical well being, his strong moral character, and his mental alertness.

Physical well-being. You can expect your son to endure some bumps and bruises to match his sore muscles but he will learn to bounce back and overcome adversity now as we hope he will later in life. When you meet and compete with your opponents and teammates on a physical basis each day you soon acquire the confidence and courage for which all men are respected. You will see born in your son a new confidence and courage.

Morally. We encourage your son to live cleanly and be a gentleman at all times. There was a time when only “toughies” played football. Today, all over the country young men have discovered what a thrilling game football really is. We do not permit any form of inappropriate living. Smoking, drinking or later hours. Such behavior would mean dismissal from the squad. Your son will be playing for a coach who will not hesitate to drop a boy who does not keep training rules. We do not consider this to be a sacrifice on his part since it contributes to his well being.

Mentally. Through football, we feel we can provide many experiences that will have a direct affect on life. Things such as accepting responsibilities and carrying it through to a successful end; developing the will to win is important all through life. We want to win every game, if it can be done fairly under the rules. We want your son to have the same desire to make our season successful. If we can instill this desire to succeed, it should help him to become a winner in all his endeavors in the future.

Finally, the coaches do realize that a boy’s first obligation is to his family and school and we are willing to make reasonable adjustments so that he can meet his commitments. Parents are always welcome at our practice and to the weekly meetings when we show game films. We hope you will feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
