By Vince Leveille, Vassar H.S.

I am sure you are aware of the teacher shortage problem in our state. Finding a teacher that is willing to coach football is even more difficult and is getting worse every year. Nearly every head football coach has a player or two attending college for teaching. We have developed a database of teacher education students that played football and are willing to coach upon graduation. I believe it would be much easier for administrators looking for teachers to hire a coach if they had a list of qualified applicants. Below is an information sheet. Please copy this as needed and give it to any of your former players that are in a teacher edu- cation program in college and are interested in coaching upon graduation. They do not have to be seniors to get their name in the database. I would like to keep track of freshmen through seniors. The success of this program is dependent upon the coaches getting the information sheet to prospective teacher/coaches. The second half of this concept is to get the information to the hiring person. If your school has a teaching position open and would like a list of future football coaches, they need to contact me and I will provide them with the information. Please notify your hiring person that there is a list available to them. If a school employee would like a list of names, have them contact Vince Leveille by email at [email protected] or by phone at 989-823-8534 (email would be easier).

Future Teacher/ Football Coach Information Sheet This sheet is for college level teacher education students that are interested in coaching football after graduation. This informa- tion will be made available to administrators and coaches looking for teachers. Please fill in the following information.
