Presidents Welcome
High School Football Coaches of Massachusetts,
Welcome to the start of the high school football season in Massachusetts. As your president I would like to share with you some of the great things that your association is doing to make Massachusetts football the best it can be in 2017.
We are now beginning our 2nd season of the MIAA mandated pre-season format that was developed to make our game safer for all of our players. As an association we applauded the MIAA’s decision, and we continue to work with the MIAA to make football safer, beneficial and educational for our players. We have also suggested modifications to the rules. We believe the use of bags will help in the teaching of non-contact blocking and tackling instruction during those days. Our association is committed to working with the MIAA to improve and protect our game. Every season our game comes under attack making it more difficult to coach and develop young men. We hope in the future the MIAA will recognize that high school coaches spending more time with their players would be a positive. We recognize that through your hard work and dedication to the sport of football, your players are not only learning how to play football, but experiencing life lessons that will help them throughout their lives.
The MHSFCA is busier than ever this year working to provide value to our coaches. In order to maximize our potential we need more coaches involved with all aspects of our activities. This starts with paying your annual dues and ensuring that your league representative is attending monthly meetings. Your membership supports; Our Athletic Combine, The Hall of Fame, Super 26 All-State Team, Paul Costello Courageous Player Awards, Distinguished Service Awards, Assistant Coaches Awards, Youth Coaches Awards, Media Awards, and the Shriners Football Classic All-Star Game.
In closing, I would ask you to visit our website www.mhsfca.net and look at upcoming events. Our monthly meetings are held at Xaverian Brothers in Westwood and open to all coaches. We need all the leagues and areas of our state represented. In these meetings we discuss important issues that may go before the MIAA Football Committee. The association is looking for new ideas and faces so we can continue to provide our coaches and players with everything they will need to improve and grow Massachusetts football.
I would like to wish everyone a productive and safe 2017 season!
