A local school is starting a football team for the first time. It is an older public school, not sure why they have never had football in the past. They will start with middle school and JV teams in 2011 and varsity in 2012.
I am looking for any advice on interviewing for this position. Has anyone started a program from scratch? This is totally different than walking into an exixting program. Would you recomend I come in with info on uniforms, equiptment, etc. Maybe looking for schools that are getting new equiptment and selling their older stuff. Or should that be left for later. I thought it would be a good impression if steps were taken to get some info together.
There is a lot of work to be done, many things to purchase. Not just player equiptment, but head phones, hand sheilds, bags, sleds, so on and so on... I realize that there is a year to get the "kinks" worked out, but in my opinion the first season, whether JV or not, needs to be approached as a varsity team. The kids need to get into that mind set.
Info? Advice? Thoughts?
