Coach Announcements:

Away Game Expectations/Guidelines:

• Players are expected to stay for every away varsity game and cheer on their program teammates while watching their positions and continuing to learn the game. This is also where a lot of bonds and good memories are created amongst the team.

• Players will be able to shower and change in the provided visiting locker room so they should bring necessary towels/soap/etc. to shower.

• Players have been instructed to bring an appropriate change of clothes based on weather conditions for after the game (Preferably Mustang Football Apparel/Coat/Rain gear when needed)

• Players should bring snacks/food/money for concessions at away games. Food deliveries are not allowed at visiting schools.

• Except when getting food (always with at least one teammate) at the concession stand, players are to always remain in the visiting bleachers/stands. At no point should they be anywhere near the other teams stands/bleachers/side. (This would be a possible safety issue and will not be tolerated).

• At the conclusion of the varsity game, the players will help load the bus with equipment and we will head back to DGS Mustang Country via the yellow buses.

• If for some extenuating circumstance, your player needs to leave and is unable to stay for the varsity game, communication is needed via e-mail prior to our sophomore game and I need to know who the player will be leaving with and at what time. The player will need to check out with me after the game and I will need to see the parent/guardian as well that is taking them home. This has been in place for years by our AD office and is a major safety/supervision protocol.

Attendance Reminders & Guidelines: 

• Players are expected to be at every practice and communicate any absence before practice. (I ask that the player send me a hudl message or e-mail and the parent send me an e-mail as well to excuse the practice w/reason for missing.

• We will practice EVERY DAY (other than Sundays) until our last game. This includes every Saturday and days with no school or early dismissal.

• Players have been told they are making a commitment to the team and every player has a role and job to do.

• If players miss practice, they risk losing playing time and if they choose to no longer make the above commitment, they will be choosing to no longer be a part of the team.

• Coach Molinari and/or myself will go over more details at Meet the Team.
