Presidents Welcome
Dear High School Football Coaches of Massachusetts,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to another great Fall season filled with football. It is a privilege and an honor to serve as your president for the 2019- 20020 school year. I have been the MHSFCA secretary for the past nine years and have had a front row seat for all the wonderful things our association does for high school football. The MHSFCA is involved in many activities throughout the year. We sponsor a coaches clinic held at Gillette Stadium, The Super 26 All-State Team banquet, The Hall of Fame Banquet, An Underclassmen Combine and The Shriners All Star Classic held in June. These are all events that represent the very core of what the MHSFCA stands for. If you would like to help or be involved with any of these events please contact your league representative. In order to make all of these events successful, we need your continued support. Our Association dues are one of our main sources of revenue, so please do all that you can to see that your school pays the dues as early as possible.
We invite every league in the Commonwealth to our monthly meetings held at Xaverian Brothers High school. Please check our website for dates and times www.mhsfcs.net. We will be working on new proposals for our playoff system, to see what is best for our student-athletes. Have your voice heard. Bring your thoughts and plans to be discussed. We realize that after a day of work and practice you do not want to drive somewhere for a meeting, but this is for your players. Dinner is provided. Get involved and be part of the solution.
We also face the challenge of switching to Federation rules this year. It will be a huge adjustment for coaches, players, and officials. As an association we do not support this change. In fact, the results of a survey of the active head coaches indicated the vast majority (79%) of coaches did not support the change. All of the football officials associations were also against this change but our combined voices went unheard. We hope that during this school year we can truly do what is best for our student-athletes and football in the state of Massachusetts.
Good luck to all this year. If you have any questions feel free to email me at jparziale@bostonpublicschools.org.
Best Regards,
John M. Parziale
