Philosophy
Our program is based
on pride and respect for teammates, opponents, team officials, league officials
as well as for our parents and volunteers.
The Seahawks' philosophy is built on the following principles:
-
Sportsmanship is paramount - Winning at all cost is a philosophy
that may defeat the purpose of playing the game. While no one is practicing to lose,
success does not depend on the score.
-
Participation - Starting positions and
playing time are determined on the practice field. Therefore, it is important that
all players attend practices.
-
Safety comes first - If a player is thought
not to be ready to play by the training staff or coach, that player will not play.
It is not our desire to cut or release any such player; rather, we will continue
to work with the player on the practice field, with the intention of putting that
player on the playing field. Playing time however is not guaranteed.
-
Family atmosphere - We pride ourselves on our motto "Once a Seahawk,
always a Seahawks." Our organization is very welcoming to new players, their parents
and volunteers. We welcome and are proud that many of our alumni players have returned
to coach with us or help out on game day.
-
Fitness - Conditioning and training is
important in our program. Our coaches ensure that our players take part in regular
conditioning and that each player stretches properly before practice to reduce occurrences
of injuries and that they are prepared for game time.
-
Fun - Football is meant to be fun! We try
to ensure our players have fun playing football and encourage them to continue playing
the sport after their years with the Seahawks.
