Litchfield Youth Football Vision
Coaches will consist of parents and selected community volunteers.
The main contact for youth football is Shane Satterlee at 715-553-0563, School: 320-693-2441 ext. 3124.
The vision of this program is for all the participants to experience youth football in a positive, safe environment. We sincerely want children to enjoy their experience and learn how to play the game with the fundamentals of our teaching. We also ask that participants and parents give effort as well towards having an enjoyable and safe experience.
We have six expectations of our parents and participants. They are:
1) Respect all players, coaches, and officials.
2) Look for the good in all situations.
3) Think of others before yourself. Football is a TEAM sport and will always be a sport based on team rather then the individual.
4) Understand the big picture of “Youth Football.” To experience the game.
5) Recognize that a player or participant may not always have a good or enjoyable time every night. We hope that all participants enjoy every night, but we also know that this is probably not possible. Parents, we ask that if your child has a “tuff” night that you take this moment and use it to teach the qualities of persistence and also point out that judging an experience over a duration of time is the only approach to good decision making.
6) Respect the effort of those working in the program. In the game of football there are many approaches to the game. You may not always agree with the approach but realize that the coach is trying his best to teach your child in the best way they know how. We believe the best thing we can all do is to support their efforts. In the long hall it will be best for the child and all who are involved.
