  • BREAKING in the ROOKIES: How to Deal with First-Time Parents
    BREAKING IN THE ROOKIES: How to Deal with First‐Time Parents By Tim Enger (Technical Director, Football Alberta) Introduction Let’s face it – football’s a pretty popular sport. In Alberta it is a fixture on television via either CFL, NFL, or NCAA broadcasts from June to February (and if you add the Arena Football League it’s all year!). Say what you want about the World Cup and Stanley Cup but annually Grey Cups are one of the biggest social occasions of the year. One would assume that it’s pretty unlikely that everyone hasn’t been exposed to our sport in one way or another over time. And yet, believe me – they exist. Each year, the lines get longer and longer to sign up kids for minor football and with them comes an increasing number of parents who have no idea what they are signing their kids up for. Most of the time, it’s no big deal as both parent and child get to grow into the sport together, but based on the number of strange complaints we’re getting at the Football Alberta office lately, we thought it prudent to give coaches at that level a list of items to discuss with the newcomers to our sport to cut down on the potential misunderstandings that may affect a child’s continuation in our sport. A parent meeting at the beginning of each season is always a good idea. Sharing the coaching staff’s philosophy, along with what to expect from the season can’t hurt, but based on experience not everyone shows up at that meeting and usually it’s the ones who need to be there the most that are absent.

  • SCYF Football
    Football 101 SCYF: Football is a full contact sport. We will help teach your child how to play the game of football. Football is a team sport. It takes 11 teammates working together to be successful. One mistake can ruin a perfect play. Because of this, we and every other football team practices fundamentals (how to do it) and running plays (what to do). A mistake learned from, is just another lesson in winning. The field • The playing field is 100 yards long. • It has stripes running across the field at five-yard intervals. • There are shorter lines, called hash marks, marking each one-yard interval. (not shown) • On each end of the playing field is an end zone (red section with diagonal lines) which extends ten yards. • The total field is 120 yards long and 160 feet wide. • Located on the very back line of each end zone is a goal post. • The spot where the end zone meets the playing field is called the goal line. • The spot where the end zone meets the out of bounds area is the end line. • The yardage from the goal line is marked at ten-yard intervals, up to the 50-yard line, which is in the center of the field. The Objective of the Game The object of the game is to outscore your opponent by advancing the football into their end zone for as many touchdowns as possible while holding them to as few as possible. There are other ways of scoring, but a touchdown is usually the prime objective.

  • Introduction Predictive Vs. Earned Ranking Methods
    An overview of some methods for ranking sports teams Soren P. Sorensen University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 38996-1200 [email protected] Introduction The purpose of this report is to argue for an open system for ranking sports teams, to review the history of ranking systems, and to document a particular open method for ranking sports teams against each other. In order to do this extensive use of mathematics is used, which might make the text more difficult to read, but ensures the method is well documented and reproducible by others, who might want to use it or derive another ranking method from it. The report is, on the other hand, also more detailed than a ”typical” scientific paper and discusses details, which in a scientific paper intended for publication would be omitted. We will in this report focus on NCAA 1-A football, but the methods described here are very general and can be applied to most other sports with only minor modifications. Predictive vs. Earned Ranking Methods In general most ranking systems fall in one of the following two categories: predictive or earned rankings. The goal of an earned ranking is to rank the teams according to their past performance in the season in order to provide a method for selecting either a champ or a set of teams that should participate in a playoff (or bowl games). The goal of a predictive ranking method, on the other hand, is to provide the best possible prediction of the outcome of a future game between two teams. In an earned system objective and well publicized criteria should be used to rank the teams, like who won or the score difference or a combination of both.

  • The Making of a Champion by Phil Thompson '66
    The Making of a Champion by Phil Thompson '66 I would like to tell you a great story (with facts) about the other state championship team...the Mighty Redskins football team of 1965 and their Coach, Ron Cain, who captured the AAA Championship in the "big boy" division, the AAA, where all the largest high schools in KY were grouped (i.e.; all Jefferson Co & City of Louisville schools) plus the perennially great all male Parochial schools such as St X, Trinity and Flaget. Everyone else in KY was AA or A. At that point in time, Seneca was the largest high school in KY with well over 2,000 students. From the first day Seneca rang a homeroom bell in 1957 until 1964, in athletics, the school was known as a basketball school. Everyone remembers the great teams Seneca and Coach Mulhcay had and the back- to-back State Championships of ’63 and ’64 and the many talented players that wore the Red & Gold, with Mike Redd and Wes Unseld being the best-of-the-best. The Coach In 1962, a year before the zenith of Seneca’s basketball glory, an unknown 24 year old young man and aspiring football coach accepted the dream job of his life as Head Coach at Seneca High School. No one saw it coming, but the day Ronnie Cain walked through the red front doors of Seneca marked the beginning of a subtle, yet profound shift in Seneca's athletic future and its identity throughout the state. Growing up in Appalachia was tough and Ronnie Cain was a tougher than most.
