“Football is just a game.  It lasts three hours and then it is over.  It’s the journey that matters - the lives we can touch, the legacy we can leave, and the world we can change for the better…  LEARNING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE TEST.  Practice well and the games will take care of themselves.”

Coaching


 

 

Hernando Youth Football Association  coaches are an essential part of our mission which is to inspire,educate and motivate our young football players. They do this by providing guidance, growth, and fraternity in a competitive football context. The goal for Hernando Youth Football Association is that each youth player will walk away with the following core values: Sportsmanship, Citizenship,Integrity, Preparation, Intensity and Pride.

 

 

 

 

It's Not About Winning

Remember, it's not about winning. If you're so focused on getting the best players in the game, you could be ruining the fun of sports for the kids you keep on the bench. This is especially true for younger children who may be playing a sport for the very first time. Rotate players out evenly so everyone gets their fair share of play time. And, no matter what, encourage them with "Great job!" and "Good try!" You can be a wonderful influence on these children who they remember for a lifetime!
