  • Implementation of Freshmen Football Sonoma State University MASTERS
    Implementation ofFreshmen Football by Jose Luis Salazar A project submitted to Sonoma State University in partial fulfillment ofthe requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF ARTS III Education with a concentration in Education Leadership Dr. Paul Porter, Chair Mr. Valintino Verhunce Copyright 2012 By Jose Luis Salazar ii AUTHORlZATION FOR REPRODUCTION OF MASTER PROJECT I grant penmSSlOn for the reproduction of this thesis in its entirety, without further authorization from me, on the condition that the person or agency requesting reproduction absorbs the cost and provide proper acknowledgment ofauthorship. DATE: ~ II" ")tJ/2­ iii IMPLEMENTATION OF FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Project by Jose Luis Salazar ABSTRACT Purpose of the Project: I plan to implement freshman football in the Santa Rosa City School District (SRCS). I am developing a freshman football program that I believe would benefit many young men we serve at the high school settings. SRCS does not offer any opportunity for freshmen to play on a freshman-only football team. SRCS is the only local district that participates in the North Bay League in the Sonoma County League that does not offer a true freshman program. Freshmen are forced to tryout and compete against sophomores and juniors for starting positions on the junior varsity (JV) football team. Procedure: I arranged weekly meetings with Richard Swain and Rod Lund to address issues, discuss concerns, decide who to contact, delegate the next steps, reviewed updates, etc. We met with Russ Peterich, the SRCS high schools' Athletic Director Coordinator SRCS and Assistant Commissioner in the North Bay League (NBL), and with Doug Bower, who is the SRCS Associate Superintendent in the Business Services delegated to the district financial decisions.
