Next week I interview for (what is apparently) an OC job at a small school that's struggled for a long time. The school has 350 kids, about 190 of them boys, but they've been starting the past few seasons with less than 20 kids total in the program.
They've not had a winning season since 2007 and have been 7-43 since, with the numbers steadily falling. The place has some decent talent on that small roster, but it's hard to be competitive when that's all you've got to work with. I know of other schools the same size who have 50+ every year, but they also have a
very strong tradition.
Assuming I land this job, what are some ideas for things I could run by the HC to raise the numbers of this struggling program? Obviously, a winning season would go a long way to getting enthusiasm up, but this school hasn't won more than 2 games in a season in 5 years. I feel like if we can get just 30 kids out, we'll have a decent foundation, while 40+ would be fantastic.
