Coaches,
What are some things that you do to promote and recruit feeder kids into your program?
Here are some that I do now;
Tie it all together
o Run a complete program from the youth level to the varsity level.
o Make a connection with the youth coaches
Youth Night
o Have all youth football players and coaches attend a varsity home game
o Youth players and coaches form a human tunnel on the field
o Varsity team runs through the human tunnel
o Youth players wear their football jersey to the game ~ Free of Charge
Elementary Pep
o Attend the elementary school to promote the program and get kids excited about being a xxxxxxx.
o Have youth board members present so that kids can sign-up for football after the pep rally.
o This gets all the elementary kids in one room so that we can sell the program and sign-ups.
Movie Night
o Twice per year
o ALL students can attend a movie night at MHS
o Free candy and popcorn will be provided
o Gets kids excited about our program
Pizza Day
o Middle school kids interested in playing football the next season will meet in the library during their lunch.
o Kids will get free pizza
o Coaches will promote the program
o Players will sign-up for either high school or middle school football for the next season.
Snickers Day
o Walk the halls of the high school
o Pass out free snickers bars to every student
o Each snickers bar will have a piece of paper wrapped around it that says “Morrice Football Rules”
o Gets the entire student body thinking about the program
Free Youth Clinics
o Give a FREE 3 day clinic at the elementary school
o Cover basic techniques of football
o Gets youth kids involved in the program
o Not all kids can afford a summer camp
Meet with youth program
o Meet with youth program president to see what involvement is welcome
o Encourage smaller teams for more playing opportunity for each player
