Parents and Players:
Welcome to our Sixth Annual Spring Parents/Players Meeting. It is my hope that by the end of
this meeting many of your questions are answered about our program and the plans we have for the
summer and during the fall. Thank you for coming and I can’t wait to meet all of you individually.
Coyote Football Website
Our team website is www.chscoyotes.com
This website will be the primary communication device between parents, players and coaches. We have
delegated the responsibilities of updating this website to a member of our coaching staff. We will try to
update this website as often as possible and send home emails from the website email listing. With this
said, it is your responsibility to make sure you have entered your information onto our website list. It is
a very simple process starting by clicking on the email list function in the top right hand corner of the
main page.
Summer Workout Policy
Our football program will be lifting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings following the
end of school from 8:00 am until 10:00 am. All athletes are expected to be at these workouts every time
unless previously excused by the Head Coach. If you have a prior commitment or a family vacation,
please let the coach know as soon as possible.
It is the policy of the football program at Clarksburg High School to encourage athletes to
compete in many different sports for our high school. No football coach will ever tell an athlete that
they can’t compete in another sport. We do want them at the football workouts though. Our coaching
staff will make accommodations to make sure players competing for other sports teams during the
summer get in the weight room.
Health Form, Medical Card, Parent Permission, Insurance Form
Every student athlete must turn in the following forms to be eligible to practice on August 13th.

All of these forms will be collected on August 10th at 6:00 pm in the main gymnasium of

garner equipment or practice until all of these forms are turned in.
**The insurance forms will be given out at summer workouts.

Parent Volunteers
Mrs. Howard is our Varsity Parent Liaison to the football program. We are looking for a Junior
Varsity parent to step up to be the Junior Varsity Liaison.
The program encourages all the parents involved to volunteer their time. There is a mandatory
volunteer service and that is the concession stand. Varsity parents will work JV games and JV
parents will work varsity games. There are no exceptions to this rule.
The Chain Gang is again being headed by John Martin. It is my hope to get the same set of
gentlemen to man the chains for every home contest. It is a job that is very important to the
game and needs experienced individuals on them. There will be no parents on the sideline unless
they are holding a pole for the chains. Three passes will be given to these individuals.
Pre Game Meals will be served for all Varsity contests. Mrs. Howard will be asking for meal
money for each varsity player. The player must pay the meal money before they are served
meals in the fall. The Junior Varsity will be different this year. Once we have a Liaison in place
The JV team will be served bagged lunch meals after school before there games. This was a
successful strategy for the lacrosse program and will be implemented with our JV team if
possible.
College Recruiting
It is the ambition of the staff to make sure that every young man that has the aspiration to play
football at the next level gets that opportunity. Every year Coach Hurd is in contact with over
100 college coaches about the players on this team. In our first five years, we have already had
five players offered full division 1 and 2 scholarships, and several others moving on to play at
the division 3 levels.
Please make sure that you are doing your part in this process by signing your son up in his junior
year at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net. This is an important part of the recruiting process. Also,
make sure you son knows that every college that comes in asks for the students grades and SAT
scores first before they talk about anything athletically. Make sure you are doing your job in the
classroom. If you have any questions about recruiting contact Coach Hurd at 301-444-3504 or
also access www.ncaa.org.
School and Behavior Expectations
Every student athlete in the Clarksburg Football Program will be an outstanding student. We
will excel in the classroom as well as on the field. We will utilize the county eligibility
requirements to render eligibility for our team, but we will aim for a total team GPA of 3.25 this
coming fall.
Players who are not committed to being outstanding students and are continuous problems in
school, by the judgment of the Head Football Coach, will not be allowed to participate on this
football team.
