Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment Training Staff We have 2 fully certified and highly experienced athletic trainers. Rob Brown and Delaney Osborne They oversee a staff of student trainers who work tirelessly to provide for our athletes. Our players safety is always our number one priority. When a player gets injured they must see our training staff. Our training staff are experts in getting them the proper care they need. They, along with the players doctor, determine when they are recovered from an injury and able to play again. All players are expected to see the training staff for treatment in the mornings when injured. This puts the athlete in position to get healed up in the best manner possible. All players are expected to dress out during the athletic period and after school for practice when injured. They will be put on a rehab program determined by our training staff to get them back to full strength. All players and parents are expected to treat our training staff and student trainers with the utmost respect.

Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment Academic expectations. We expect our players to Win The Moment in the classroom. Full respect shown towards all faculty. Tutorial expectations during Knight Lunch . Eligibility requirements At the 6 week progress report players become ineligible if they have below a 70 in any class. They lose eligibility at 2:30 the following Friday. This doesn t mean they don t practice. They are expected to still be at all team activities. The actual game is what they are ineligible to participate in. After 3 weeks if they are passing all their classes they regain eligibility the following Friday at 2:30. Athletics are never the reason a student-athlete fails a class. Poor time management, lack of work ethic, etc. are.

Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment Your child s success or lack of success in sports does not indicate what kind of parent you are. But, having an athlete that is coachable, respectful, a great teammate, mentally tough, resilient, and tries their best IS a direct reflection of your parenting.
Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment Quitting CCISD District Athletics policy states that if a student-athlete quits a sport during that sports season that athlete cannot begin workouts/practices with the next sport he/she wishes to play until the sport they are quitting season has ended completely. At Clear Falls we 100% support this policy. Those athletes that do chose to quit will be placed in PE until their current sport season ends. Timelines do not matter in this scenario. One of the biggest values we are trying to teach is that of commitment and overcoming adversity. Quitters are not wanted at Clear Falls High School!
Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment Multi-sport participation At Clear Falls we highly encourage our athletes to participate in multiple sports. It is a fact that it benefits the athlete. Colleges prefer athletes who compete in multiple sports when it comes to scholarship considerations. If an athlete wants to play two sports that share the same time frame we as coaches will find a way to make it work for that athlete. Basketball, tryouts in late Oct. Those who make the team will begin going to the basketball athletic period after the freshman football season ends Nov. 3rd. Soccer, tryouts in late Nov. Those who make the team will begin going to the soccer athletic period then. Some who are on JV soccer may stay in off-season football. Determined on a case by case basis. Baseball, tryouts in late Jan. Those who make the team will begin going to the baseball athletic period then. Track, after school practices. All football/track athletes stay in the football athletic period for off-season. Wrestling, after school practices. All football/wrestling athletes stay in the football athletic period for off-season. The off-season program is highly structured focusing on improving our athletes physical conditioning and mental toughness.

School examples (Texas, Texas A&M) Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), used to be called Division 1AA. 63 football scholarships. Most schools divide those up giving partials. School examples (Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston St., McNeese St.) Division II, 36 football scholarships, most schools divide those up giving partials. School examples (Texas A&M Commerce, West Texas A&M, Tarleton State) Division III, do not give athletic scholarships. Examples (Austin College, Mary-Hardin Baylor) NAIA, separate governing body for collegiate athletics. Very few in Texas. Junior College, 2 year institutions that do offer various forms of scholarships. School examples (Blinn, Navarro, Tyler)
Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment Average Height/Weight and 40 time of FBS football recruits Quarterback: 6-2, 210. 4.6 Wide Receiver: 6-0, 193. 4.5 Tight End: 6-4, 244. 4.6 Running Back: 5-10, 205. 4.5 Offensive Line: 6-4, 298. 5.1 Defensive Tackle: 6-2, 281. 4.9 Defensive End: 6-3, 253. 4.7 Linebacker: 6-1, 226. 4.6 Safety: 6-0, 200. 4.6 Cornerback: 5-11, 183. 4.5 *These numbers drop in all 3 categories as you go down in level from FBS through Division III.
Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment How does recruiting work? Each year in the spring and then again in the fall colleges come by to inquire about prospects. Roughly 50 to 75 schools in a normal year. We tell them the truth about a prospects character, academics, work ethic, athletic ability, potential, etc. Those schools want to know if the prospects they are interested in will pass NCAA eligibility requirements. These requirements can be found at the NCAA Eligibility Center website. Must have a certain core GPA in line with ACT/SAT test score. Sliding scale. If an athlete can t meet those requirements NCAA institutions can t offer them. NAIA and Junior College s can still potentially recruit that athlete. The schools want to know what type of character the athlete has. In today s society they don t want to take many risks on low character athletes. They will check social media. They will do their research. COVID and the transfer portal has changed everything drastically. Ways that schools show interest: Letters, mean very little. Generally part of a large data base. Contacting the athletes via phone, twitter, at camps etc., more significant. Shows there is an interest level. Camps can be a benefit. Must remember that camps are for showcasing a players skills. Camps should not get in the way of opportunities for players to improve upon their skills by being at our workouts.
Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment What are the characteristics of a successful program? Best players are the hardest workers. Those best players then demand excellence from their teammates. Creates a player-driven environment where all members give their very best at all times for their teammates. A culture of not wanting to let your teammate down. This then gets passed on to the younger players when they arrive. They feel the expectation of continuing that high standard of excellence. This along with a team of players with high moral character creates success. Must commit during the summer! Can not afford to lose all we gain from the off-season during the Summer. SWAT must be the first priority. Camps and other activities second in the summer. For this program to be successful the commitment to SWAT must be tremendous!

Clear Falls Football 2021 Parent Meeting Win The Moment Fundraisers Outfitting 200 athletes for football is expensive. When a player takes the field they are outfitted in over $700 worth of protective equipment. Each year we update our stock of equipment with the best items on the market. The only thing we ask our players to purchase is socks, cleats, and the soft shell helmet. The basic budget provided has to be aided by fundraisers in order to give our athletes the best equipment, video materials, and training materials needed. This year we are taking part in a hour-a-thon text fundraiser. The Booster Club needs your support in helping with Booster Club fundraisers throughout the year. In addition the Booster Club needs your support in helping to see to it that our student- athletes are provided with every opportunity to be successful.
