“Put Emphasis on Fundamentals”
All parents should want their children to
only enjoy winning, but more importantly to be taught the
correct fundamentals of youth tackle football. Being taught
correctly will reduce the risk of injury and will provide
the long term benefit of a sound football education.
Coaches that skip the fundamentals and
conduct a majority of scrimmages during practice do not
provide your child with the learning experience they need
and deserve.
Golden Empire is a very competitive league
and I believe competition can be a good thing. The key is to
teach young athletes how to deal with both winning and
loosing. Coaches that are overly concerned with winning
often overlook many of the good qualities of teaching and
the development of every athlete on his or her team.
Sincerely,
Ron White
Executive Director GEYF

How can we keep our son or daughter safe on the
football field?
Foremost in all our minds
should be teaching children proper techniques so
they are learning to do things the safe and
correct way. One of the great ways to prevent
injury is to consistently teach age appropriate
and proper techniques that are learned from a
very early age so they become natural to the
player. This is “YOUTH FOOTBALL”
and I would remind coaches to please remember
that youth football should be a positive
learning experience, and I would suggest that
parents play an active role in that experience.
