What are your expectations for your team this year?
“We play in a talented and deep league: however, our team will be competitive every week. If we gel as a team, stay healthy, and develop a collective will to win, the season will be a memorable one.”

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
First and foremost, all 11 players need to know their assignments and execute their technique with intensity on every play. If that happens consistently, we will move the ball and score TDs.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
Playing sound team defense, tackling, and forcing turnovers.
