The Keepers Of The Game
COACHES CORNER
We would like to thanks all of our coaches and let them know that we appreciate their hard work and dedication to our youth.  We take coaching seriously because we have been entrusted with our parents' most valuable possession.  All of our coaches are graded on their performance and given input on how to improve their coaching methods.  We ensure that our coaches are committed to teaching the fundamentals of each and every position. 

Coaching Criteria

    1. Our coaches are required to be NYSCA Certified prior to being allowed to
        coach
    2. Our coaches are expected to adhere to the MYTSA and GPSYFL Coaches
        Code of Conduct
    3. Our Coaches are required to undergo and pass a background investigation
    4. Our coaches must also also attend mandatory Coaches meetings prior to the
         season
    5. Our coaches must be committed to the program and place the welfare of the 
        players and organization above their own ambition. 

All coaches report to the Athletics Director.  Coaches may terminate their service  or be dismissed by the Athletic Director at any time.
