Michigan High School Football Coaches Association Alliance Award MHSFCA Youth Football Committee

The MHSFCA Alliance Award is offered as a token of appreciation to person(s) having made a long-term commitment to youth football. Individuals that actively promote youth football, simply for a love of the game, and have done so for a long period of time, are excellent candidates. Coaches can be nominated if their contributions expand far beyond personal team(s). Won/loss records are of no concern. As a rule of thumb, persons that have affected the most youngsters over the longest period of time will receive the most consideration through this process. To date, all recipients of this award have been involved with youth football more than 20 years. Volunteers will be given additional consideration.

Future Teacher/Coaches Data Base

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.
