This is the 8^th, and final, version of the MCFOA Newsletter for 2005. We hope you’ve enjoyed the previous copies you received and that they helped make the game-day experience a better one for both you and your team. Certainly, it was out goal in this first year of trying the Newsletter to do just that.

 

We also want to thank you for the opportunity to serve you. While GHSA mandated to us which schools we were to approach for contracts in 2005, most of you were already “old customers” from years before 2005. We appreciated your confidence in selecting MCFOA in those earlier years. We sincerely hope you feel we succeeded this year in helping to provide a safe, fair and fun environment in which to play high school football. We are keenly aware that your very jobs as football coaches depend in large part on how much on-field success your teams enjoy. Our goal in every game is to provide the mythical “level playing field” to each coach and team. We strive to give as close as possible to equal treatment to each team whether they are home or away. In the end this means we want you and your team to succeed, or fail, strictly by how well you played the game compared to your opponent. And to the extent possible, we want all this to seem to happen “as if we weren’t even there.” Every year provides new challenges as rules change, the kids get faster and the coaching gets better. But this is what it is all about and why American football is such a great sport. We truly enjoyed working with all the schools this year. We’re already looking forward to 2006.

 

As the 2005 playing season winds down through the playoffs, we’d like to remind you once again that you can contact us year ‘round through information held on our web site at: www.mcfoafootball.org. If you have any suggestions for how we could improve the Newsletters or better serve you in the future, we’d consider it a nice favor for you to share your ideas with us. For that matter, if you have anything you’d like to discuss with us, we are here to serve you. Drop us a line or give us a call. We’ll be glad to hear from you whatever your interest.

 

Once again, thanks for your contract. Good luck in all your future coaching opportunities. Assuming contract assignments work out in next year as they did in 2005, we look forward to resuming contact with you through the Newsletter somewhere in the near vicinity of April Fool’s Day, 2006.
