I am part of a youth program. Recently the Czar of our youth (and MS) program was (finally) hired as the head coach of our HS team.
Despite a lot of success at the youth/MS level our HS team has always struggled. 0 for seasons were common with total points around the 20s for the season (while allowing 100s+). Alot of reasons but some of the main reasons is lack of stability (5 or so Head coaches over the last 10-15 years), little coordination with youth and MS programs, A plethora of sports within the HS and poor performance and history, so football often didnt get the "best athletes".
All that said we are really excited about the "new Start" with this "new" Coach. He knows the kids, the program 2-12 and the Community. One of the things he wants to do (as he has done in Youth) is implement some new "Traditions"at the HS level. Intro music. Pregame. Halftime. Etc etc.
Right now we have none of consequence.
Obviously some youth traditions don't translate well which is why he is asking.
He has asked us for suggestions.
What are some of the Best "Traditions" you have seen? If you were "building a program from the bottom up" what would you institute? Theme song suggestions?
Ironically enough we are "the Patriots".
