  1. Tips for building and running a successful touch football team By: John Schiebel MTFL League Registrar, Aug-2005 Ver 1.0

  2. Overview • Purpose • Recruitment • Finances • On-field Considerations / Etiquette Ver 1.0

  3. Purpose • The goal of any sports team is to win the championship title. This presentation offers tips on how a team can reach that goal. • This presentation also provides insights on how to sustain a championship team (from season to season) and have fun doing it. Ver 1.0

  4. Recruitment • What’s key: the QB, the rusher and snapper. • What else: gain players who are capable of playing (e.g. available, enthusiastic and willing to listen to the team captain). • Recruit from friends, co-workers or even by watching other teams (in this or other leagues). • Recall despite your best planning, there will always be some interruption in a player’s availability (e.g. wedding, birth, funeral, work or travel commitment). Ver 1.0

  5. Recruitment • Some teams have a small number of players while others use a larger number. • Regardless, only consider players who match and/or complement the temperament of the team and its captain(s). • Diversity (in age) and roster depth is a plus. • Having players of different skills/experiences and capable of playing different positions does help when an injury occurs OR when someone can’t make it to a game. • It may also bring more enjoyment to your team as the opportunity to share and/or learn something new exists more readily. Ver 1.0

  6. Finances • Even with a sponsor, expectations for finances must be set well before you play any game. Why? • Your team must pay the league up-front (or it won’t play); • You/the organizer should NOT be solely responsible for another person’s fun/commitments. Ver 1.0

  7. On-field Considerations / Etiquette • Arrive 15-20 minutes before kick-off to allow for individual warm-ups and/or some team drills. • During the game: • When a referee’s flag is dropped … get over it and move on to the next play as fast as possible. • Praise in public … compliment excellent play; • Criticize/follow-up in private. • Bring lots of water!
