Dear Massachusetts High School Football Coaches,
Welcome to Football Season!
I hope this letter finds you energized and ready for another successful year. It’s an honor to serve as President of the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association. I want to begin by thanking the incredible leaders who came before. Their commitment laid the groundwork for everything this association has achieved, and I hope to continue that tradition with the same passion and integrity.
Through monthly meetings, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication and collaboration that make this group special. Despite many challenges, our coaches continue to rise above and find new ways to grow the game and support each other. MHSFCA remains a powerful advocate for high school football in our state — from advancing player safety and ethical coaching to promoting sportsmanship and leadership on and off the field.
Through clinics, seminars, and shared resources, we’ve strengthened coaching at every level. Our efforts to connect with other sports, schools, and associations across the state have helped build a broader and more unified football community. As well as a coach, I have been an athletic director and district representative to the MIAA Football Committee. I’ve experienced the pathways which can make positive changes to our sport. I invite you to offer ideas on how we can expand those efforts and keep moving forward together.
As always, the association will continue to recognize excellence through annual initiatives like
