Seeking the Worst Youth Team in US

Dave

If you buy a helicopter you can get back and forth from Denver in no time. We have some really bad teams in our league. You could fire up the music just like Duval did in Apocalypse Now...as you fly in for practice and the games.

Coach Mike

What type of radius are you talking about? Our whole youth program needs an overall.

Had one this past year that did not win a game and the teams they played were not the most talented. Cincy's airport is 30 mins or so.

Love the idea... I think you will shock some folks with how much improvement occurs.

Hope you get some film from this year... can't wait to see the 'before & after' clips.

Doug,

Lucky for you the flights your way arent very good, otherwise I would be hounding you day and night to coach with me out there with an LA area team.

Lucky me is right - if you came out here, you'd undoubtedly take over some team that I penciled in as an automatic win and turn it into a loss for me. LOL. Seriously, though, I'd be honored to coach with you if the opportunity ever presented itself.

I will be in Dallas in 2 Weeks
Do you have contact info? PM me if you do.
Dallas has good flights

nah coach if we do it there, think of the kids you are helping

We invite the competition to our coaches clinics. Makes you a better team.

I dont expect to take anyone from worst to first, but from dismal to competitive and having fun again. If the byproduct is they win em all, thats ok too, but doubtful. We shall see.

But where do you find a team that bad that stays together for that long? Usually they'd disband, either formally or (thru loss of interest by the players) in effect. Realistically you can hope only to find cellar dwellers who aren't truly "inept", who are good enough to give them just enough encouragement to keep playing.

The JPW team I assisted with in 2007 was disbanded before the season even ended. However, a good fraction of their players quit before the season started and showed up just for a mid-season team photo. When we disbanded, a few were eligible to play down a grade with the Mighty Mites and were transferred, while the others were offered free membership for 2008.

The only teams we have contacted so far have been inpet for many seasons including one org that had 6 teams total and won a combined 3 games last season and won something like 6 games combined the previous.

We are specifically targeting non-select teams, no recruiting etc

Obviously no horrific team will get all their players back, but there are many consistently poor performing orgs are out there, we have already contacted several.

As to excuse making, if it were an export product, the US trade defecit would be a thing of the past just from the jealous rantings and CYAs of youth football coaches, I know and fully expect such sillyness. There are many youth coaches doing great things, but the ones that consistently do poorly are usually saddled with excuse makers.
Of the 6-7 very nice e-mails Ive sent out requesting more information and volunteering my possible services at my own expense, Not ONE has been returned so far.

Very,

But I require direct flights from Omaha or Lincoln to make it work
I doubt they fit.

Dave,

There was a Midget team here in Phoenix that wasn't very good and was trying to run Single Wing, any interest in coming down here and meeting with their coaches? I don't know them personally but could look them up if your interested. Southwest is cheap and fly's Omaha to Phoenix.....I'd love to see your Single Wing in action as we are spread with obvious SW/WT roots...
