MAVERICK FOOTBALL PROGRAM OF CHAMPIONS

VISION STATEMENT

NO EXCUSES!! WIN EVERYDAY!!

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Maverick football program is to help our student athletes

develop championship character through football. We will be committed to

academic and athletic excellence. Through leadership, teamwork, and pride

we will uphold the traditions of McNeil High School. It is extremely important

for our football program to have parental and community support.

CORE VALUES

MAVERICK PRIDE

Protect We will be committed to protecting the image of our

team, our school and our community.

Respect We will treat everyone with dignity and value the

diversity in our program and community.

Integrity We will strive to be positive role models in our school

and community.

Discipline We will mature daily to achieve the physical and

mental discipline that is required to fulfill our purpose in life.

Excellence We will strive to achieve academic and athletic

excellence on a daily basis.

C.T.C.

MAVERICK FOOTBALL Coaching Philosophy

Our goal as a coaching staff will be to develop the entire student-

athlete. We will focus on preparing each individual to become the best

athlete possible. However this is only part of the total picture. Superior

student-athletes are well-rounded people that understand the

importance of a good education. They exhibit discipline, a great work

ethic, integrity, and a team before self-attitude. To reach the full

potential of each student-athlete, we will concentrate on the following

areas:

Provide a mindset that academic growth is a priority of this program.

Implement the most creative and innovative ways to improve each

individual’s athletic ability.

Enhance the social and emotional maturity of the student athlete.

Incorporate character building/mental training.

Motivate student-athletes to be committed to reaching the high standards of

the program.

Develop a mutual respect between coaches and players by treating each

person with respect.

Develop a trusting relationship between coaches and players by coaching

the player and loving the person.

Communicate the expectations of the student-athlete in a simple, clear

manner (no mixed messages).

Provide an environment that promotes multi-sport athletes.

Create a family atmosphere that players enjoy being around.

MAVERICK FOOTBALL ATHLETIC TRAINING PROCEDURES

The following statements are designed to help inform the athlete and parents on

procedures that should be followed should an athletic injury occur.

Athletes are expected to report injuries to the Athletic Trainer as soon as possible.

Training room opens at 7:30AM or earlier by appointment. This time may change

without notice.

Athletic Trainers may be reached at the following numbers & emails:

“Doc”- [email protected] 512-464-6503

“Mrs.Maggie” [email protected] 512-464-6527

When going to a physician please make sure to have the McNeil Medical Release

Form. The form will allow the Athletic Trainers to communicate with the doctor about the

athlete’s condition. In addition, the release will let the Athletic Trainers know what the

athlete can and cannot do.

A written release from the treating physician must be on file in the training room before

an athlete, under the care of a physician, for any reason, will be allowed to participate in

any physical activity. A fax will also be accepted (464-6477). An athlete released from

the care of a physician will be monitored by the Athletic Trainer for full release.

Athletes under a physician care for a surgery or other injury and are unable to practice will

supplement his/her athletic workout by being in the athletic training room for rehabilitation

exercises.

Weekend and Club Injuries:

The athletic trainers are willing to take care of these non-school related injuries for McNeil

athletes provided the athlete follows treatment protocols suggested by Athletic Trainer at

McNeil as well as club practice. If you play at club you play here. Violation will result in

the termination of treatment for club injuries.

All athletes who need treatment or taping should be present for morning

treatments. If you are not present at morning treatments, we assume you will be ready

and able to practice that day without any assistance from the athletic trainers. Sports that

practice in the morning before the school day begins have treatments after school.





MAVERICK FOOTBALL ATHLETIC TRAINING PROCEDURES (CONT.)

Athletes should come to the training room with proper attire for taping, treatment, and

rehab. Shirts and shorts should be worn at all times. Sports bras are not accepted as

proper attire. NO SHOES will be allowed on the treatment tables. Cleats are not to be

worn in the training room or school building.

Athletes are not to treat themselves. Athletes will wait for an Athletic Trainer or Student

Athletic Trainer to assist him/her. Operation of any equipment by an athlete will not be

permitted.

Do not remove supplies from the training room.

Athletes are responsible for all special equipment issued (wraps, sleeves, crutches,

splints, etc.). If items are not returned, athletes will be held accountable for the

replacement.

*Disrespect of student trainers will not be tolerated. Treat them as you would treat the

Athletic Trainers.*

MAVERICK FOOTBALL PARENT COACH COMMUNICATION PLAN

Both parenting and coaching are extremely difficult jobs. By

establishing an understanding of each position, we are better able to

accept the actions of the other and provide greater benefits to children.

As parents of children that have become involved in our programs, you

have a right to understand what expectations are placed on your child.

This begins with clear communication from the coach of your child’s

program.

I. Communication that you should expect from your child’s coach:

1.) Expectations the coach has for your child as well as all the players on

the squad

2.) Locations and times of all practices and contests.

3.) Team Requirements- i.e., practices, special equipment, out-of-season

conditioning, etc.

4.) Discipline that may result in the denial of your child’s participation.

II. Communication coaches expect from parents: 1.) Concerns expressed directly to the coach.

2.) Notification of any schedule conflicts well in advance.

3.) As your child becomes involved in the program at McNeil, they will

experience some of the most rewarding moments of their lives. It is

important to understand that there also may be times when things do not

go the way your child wishes. At these times, discussion with the coach

is encouraged.

III. Appropriate concerns to discuss with coaches: 1.) The treatment of your child

2.) Ways to help your child improve

3.) Concerns about your child’s behavior

4.) It is very difficult to accept your child not playing as much as you may

hope. Coaches are professionals. They make judgment decisions based

on what they believe to be the best for all students involved. As you have

seen from the list above, certain things can and should be discussed with

your child’s coach. Other things, such as the following, must be left to the

discretion of the coach.

MAVERICK FOOTBALL PARENT COACH COMMUNICATION PLAN (CONT.)

IV. Issues not appropriate to discuss with coaches:

1.)Playing time

2.)Team Strategy

3.) Other student-athletes

4.)There are situations that may require a conference between the coach

and the parent. Conferences in these situations are to be encouraged. It

is important that both parties involved have a clear understanding of the

other’s position. When these conferences are necessary, the following

procedures should be followed to help promote a resolution to the issue

or concern.

V. If there is a concern to discuss with a coach, the following procedure

should be followed: 1.)Please encourage your child to speak directly with coach. Many times this

can take care of the problem.

2.) Call to set up an appointment

3.) If the coach cannot be reached, call the Athletic Coordinator at 512-464-

6502

4.) Please do not attempt to confront a coach before or after a contest or

practice. These can be emotional times for both parent and coach.

Meetings of this nature do not promote resolution. In addition, coaches

have other responsibilities at these times.

5.) If the meeting with the coach did not provide a satisfactory resolution, call

and set up an appointment with the Principal or Athletic Director to

discuss the situation.
