| Don't Take Chances With Your Childrens Involvement in Youth Athletics - Bee Responsible!! |  |
Allow me to introduce myself... My name is "Touchdown Tim."
Editor of - "Mount Airy Youth Athletic Advisory" a Mt Airy youth football editorial guide to local programs.
I'm here to provide information about youth football programs in our Mt. Airy area and give you the straight talk about everything you need to help make an informed decision for your childs welfare regarding participation in youth football in the Mt. Airy MD community and surrounding areas.
Most folks wouldn't bother with all this mumbo jumbo but I feel there are some real important facts you need to take into consideration before exposing your child to the best youth sport in the land...
"Full Contact Good Old Fashioned American Football".
Mt. Airy, MD is smack dab in the middle of the state where 4 counties come together and does not have a high school to call its own. Children of the community have many options when it comes to athletics and there are many sports organizations to choose from so why not hit the candy store and pick just any old flavor you ask? B/C it's your kids we're talking about here and if you're like me ... nothing is more important than your kids. Will it be Chocolate Covered Mt. Airy Bulldogs, Cherry Apple Linganore Lancers, Jolly Rancher Urbana Hawks or the West Howard County Gummy Bear Warhawks? or better yet the Winfield Caramel Cavaliers!
Not all programs are created equal. Some are stagnant old school programs run by a few guys still trying to re-live their glory days like Al Bundy and they are narrow minded control freaks concerned more about themselves than the community or the kids. Bee Careful though... they are skilled at deception and tall tales. The truth comes out on the practice and playing field and more so when your child returns home from either and tells you about how he feels the experience is going. I know this first hand!
On the other side of the coin most programs are quite progressive in their thinking and in the way they approach the game. Concern for every kid on the field is the utmost important factor. Regardless of skill set or ability. Some programs have found a way for everyone to enjoy football not just the kids born w/ lots of natural ability and talent. Development of the game, fundamentals and fun should be at the core of any youth program. One sure fire way to get an idea of which programs in your area are doing a great job and keeping people happy is to ask them about their enrollment numbers. If the program is suffering shrinkage there is a problem. On the other hand if the program is growing in numbers or has a wait list then you can probably bet there is a good reason for it. Steer clear of programs that are shriveling up like an old prune trying to hang on to old fashioned ways of teaching football an ordering kids around like a bunch of military drill commanders. There are such programs right in our back yard.
The decision can be the difference between a winning experience and a losing experience. I'm not talking about the score of the actual game here but the score of the overall experience. In the end football is a unique sport and requires a great deal of responsibility on the part of the organization to pull off a successful season for most everyone involved.
