“ The Keepersof theGame”Executive Director’s MessageFellow Coaches,If you received this magazine, you are a member or a partner of the MinnesotaFootball Coaches Association. Or, you are an affiliate in some way. In thisbrief message, let’s hi-light and salute some of the activities, programs, andaccomplishments, of the MFCA, ‘The Keepers Of The Game’.Our mission statement, (I am paraphrasing),’The professional organizationof football coaches serving and representing Minnesota High School footballfor over 50 years by preserving its past, providing educational opportunities,recognizing and honoring achievement, valuing good sportsmanship, enhancingthe game of football, and engaging in partnership with the MHSCA and MSHSLto developed healthy participation for the student-athletes of our schools’, isbeing fulfilled by a number of events and programs sponsored and conductedby your MFCA.To hi-light just a few. the Mr. Football selection and Banquet; Clay Anderson,AlbertLea, chair. The summer football Camp -Outreach; Wayne Petermeir, chair.Ron StolskiThe annual MFCA Football Scholarships; Will Wackman, chair. The Recruiting fair;Executive DirectorJeff Ferguson, Totino-Grace, chair. The Hall of Fame selection; Scott Tschimperleand Paul Lemke, Glencoe-Silver-Lake, co chairs. The Hall of Fame banquet; DaveNelson, Minnetonka, chair. The All-Star game; Dave Fritze, Eagan, chair. The MFCA Clinic. The Football Advisoryto the MSHSL, President Paul Dunn, Springfield, chair. The Code Of Ethics; Past President Shannon Gerrety. Inaddition to these, and other programs and initiatives, the Rep Assembly meets bi-annually in the Fall and Springto be appraised of and discuss pertinent issues of importance to football in Minnesota. I outline some of theseprograms to illustrate a very important point. We are not a hollow or insignificant organization. We are a workingorganization that is striving to fulfill our mission. In the pages of this manual, you will find contributions fromcoaches from every class, conference, section and area of our great state. Thank you to you all for your dailycontributions to not only this magazine, but to advancing the game of football in your school, communityconference, and section!All of our efforts require funding. thanks to our many financial partners for providing the dollars to allowus to sponsor the many and varied programs we offer. To that end I want to directly address the annual MFCAClinic, and urge you, again, to make plans to attend in 2011. Since the MFCA partnered with The U of M in 2008,we have striven to provide the very best clinic in the nation. The clinic committee spends endless hours planningand conducting a clinic that is worthy in every way. Since it’s inception just three years ago, our attendance,summarized, averages right around 1,000. this number includes attendees, exhibitors, and presenters; Allproceeds have gone directly to the association. Again, summarizing, approximately 52,000.00 has beentransferred to the MFCA. Prior to our sponsorship of the clinic, no monies were realized for the MFCA. Why attendour clinic? The answer is in the facts. All funds generated go directly to support the MFCA. Our target for the2011 clinic is to top 1300. please, to the extent, that you can, plan now to attend your Clinic in 2011.I have rambled, and apologize. The point is we have a special organization; something to be proud of. weare “The Keepers Of The Game’. Special thanks to Past president, Jon Johnson, a fantastic job!!. Thanks to allCommittee Chairs, Reps, the Ex. Committee, and to all of you for your interest and support. Congratulations toPresident Paul Dunn, I know he will be an outstanding leader.It is Fall and Football. How fortunate we all are!Ron Stolski8 - Minnesota Football Coaches Association

“ The Keepersof theGame”Code of EthicsP reambleP urposeOne of the distinguishing characteristics of a profession in educationmay be that its members are cognizant of, and perhaps dedicated to,rendering a service to humanity. As educators who choose to coachfootball, we must understand that the justification for football is that itprovides educational and physical values for those who play the game,and the game essentially belongs to the players who choose to playit.The welfare of the game depends on how coaches live up to thespirit and letter of ethical conduct, and how coaches, as educators,model ethical conduct, and remain mindful of the trust and confidenceplaced in them by colleagues, players, and the public.This code of ethics has been developed to protect, promote, andpreserve the best interests of the game and the coaching profession.Its primary purpose is to clarify and distinguish ethical and professionalpractices from those which are detrimental. Its secondary purpose isto emphasize the value of football as an experience that contributesto the overall education of the student-athlete and to stress properfunctions in relation to schools, players, and the public.Article One – Responsibility to Players1. Coaches shall be aware of the tremendous influence they have onthe education of the student-athlete; therefore, they shall never placethe value of winning above the value of instilling the highest ideals ofcharacter and integrity.2. Coaches shall follow or create and enforce a set of training rulesfor players that reflect the positive values of abstaining from drugs,alcohol, and tobacco.3. Coaches shall never place the value of winning over the safety andwelfare of players.4. Coaches shall not exert pressure on faculty members to give playersspecial consideration.5. Coaches shall show respect to all players by treating them withintegrity and honesty in both verbal and nonverbal behavior, regardlessof their role or contribution to the team.6. Coaches are responsible for their players’ actions on the field andmust not permit them to perform with the intent of causing injury toopposing players.7. Coaches shall not seek unfair advantage by teaching deliberateunsportsmanlike behavior to players; they shall instruct players to playwithin the written rules and within the spirit of the game at all times.3. Coaches shall promote ethical relationships among fellow coaches.4. Prior to, and following contests, coaches for the competing teamsshould meet and exchange cordial greetings to set the correct tonefor the event.Article Two – Professional Behavior1. Coaches shall exemplify the highest moral character, behavior, andleadership.2. Coaches shall display modesty in victory and be gracious in defeat.16 - Minnesota Football Coaches AssociationArticle Three – Sportsmanship1. Coaches shall exhibit, model, and teach good sportsmanship.2. Coaches shall
