It’s finally football season and I hope this finds you all well.

This summer we had over 700 kids and 70 coaches involved in camps and coaching for character clinics and the results are beginning to unfold.  This weekend we had two high school teams serving together on a 4 hour work project cleaning and painting with the coaches leading the way.

That is what being a Playmaker is all about.

Coaches, I sincerely hope that you understand the bigger picture and get your kids into the community serving this fall.  As I watched a high school game last week on ESPN, I was stuck by two of the states best teams, (Mater Dei and Carson) both have their kids serving in the community.  Make a difference and lead the way.

Two things I want to put on your radar screen as we plan for next spring and summer as we are growing and want to have San Marcos partnering with Playmakers.

• PLAYMAKERS COACHES/CAPTAINS LEADERSHIP CLINIC

This spring, we will be offering a leadership/coaching clinic featuring the best speakers on the subjects of character as well as practical breakouts for coaches as well as players.  This clinic will be a first of its kind that unifies teams STATEWIDE on character and leadership.

• PLAYMAKERS FOR PARENTS PLAYBOOK

The first of its kind “Parent Handbook” is being published offering suggestions to parents of do’s and Dont’s both on the field as well as off.

Two youth organizations are already including this playbook to ALL of their parents next season at the team’s sign-ups. This fun to read publication offers useful suggestions for parents on a variety of subjects, from interaction with coaches to improving grades and conduct.

This publication is getting “thumbs up” ratings.  Here is a review:

“In my 30 + years of coaching and being an educator and coach at the college and high school level, I cannot believe something like this book had not been written, it is simple and direct and a must for parents and coaches”- Rick Plumbtree

I hope to hear from you on serving in the community as well as your success stories.  I hope to see many comments and success stories in the comment section below.

Playmakers is making a difference!
