How many of you current or past head coaches have a "manual" or guidelines that you use as far as discipline for your program? I would like to see what each of you do as at some point I hope to land a head coaching job and would like to have some kind of idea(s) on how to create a manual/guidelines for myself. I know as coaches we are a community of thieves so to speak so I am looking to "borrow" as many great ideas as I can.
Thanks in Advance for sharing!
Here is some of my stuff over the years.
GENERAL EAGLES FOOTBALL EXPECTATIONS
1. The language of coaches and players MUST reflect a Christian example.
2. Talking to our opponents or the referees in anything but a positive way will not be tolerated. The Head Coach is the only one that talks to referees.
3. Your uniform and equipment are YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Any misuse will not be tolerated. Players will pay for any lost or damaged items. Your helmet is a vital part of your equipment. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you to modify your helmet. The coaching staff must handle all adjustments to the padding and facemask.
4. Only CVCS Football attire may be worn at practice. It is your responsibility to wash your clothes. Any extra clothing or pads must be school colors and APPROVED by the Head Coach. We do not want to see your boxers or tightie whities!
5. Your jersey is to be worn with PRIDE. Do not leave them around campus, in classrooms, in lockers, etc. An “Eagle Special” will be the result if a player or coach finds your jersey anywhere but on your back.
6. Our team locker room MUST BE KEPT CLEAN! Take your cleats off outside. This includes the fireside room and Coach Fore’s office as well.
7. Be positive, work hard and have fun!!!!
