In the event of game time injury or illness GEYF participants will be both medically assessed and monitored by certified medical staff provided my Golden Empire Youth Tackle Football and Cheer. Throughout the medical assessment and monitoring process, GEYF Medical Staff will have sole authority as to determine a participant’s fitness to return to the action (football or cheer). Any coach who attempts to impede the medical assessment or monitoring process will be relieved of his or her duties immediately.

Responsible Sports Tip:

If you feel you need to approach your child's coach to talk about playing time, think it through ahead of time. Asking what your child can do to earn more playing time is one good approach.

“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.
