Very simple.......If you are not happy with the organization / set up, I see that you have 3 choices - (1) start your own middle school football association (2) volunteer to help in hopes of improving the system each year (3) shut up

Keep up the good work KYMSFA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are 3 interesting choices. Let me tell you a true story. A couple years ago, our head coach asked me and another guy to tag along with him to coach a Kentucky All-Star team in Frankfort. We had 35 players on our roster. and our game plan was simple. The first half, we were going to get EVERYONE on the field to fulfill the purpose of the game and atmosphere. The second half, we play to win. At halftime of that game, I was approached by the president of the KMSFA and another board member (NOT Coach KMSFA2 by the way) where I was cussed out because they were taking heat from parents on playing time. Keep in mind, this was AFTER everyone had played in the 1st half. That was the 2nd time that weekend I had been cussed by the KSMFA president (the first was at the equipment pick-up distribution area where he had nothing but good things to say after our head to head match up earlier that year that didn't go his way -- note my sarcasm). That's not how I conduct myself around the kids and I refuse to condone how he talks to people in general, especially in the position he holds with the Association. Please excuse me if I prefer to take a different approach now because of that experience. My volunteer status will change when other changes are made within the leadership. You can kiss the tails of "some" of those guys all you want. I refuse to. With all that said, we won the game. At the end of the day, the kid's are first for me and winning comes second. I feel like our guys had a good time. I still talk to a lot of my position guys from that team to this day as many of them are now in the middle of their high school careers. Talked to one at Williamsburg and one from Barren County just last week. I'll be there for them til the day I die if they need me and it all came from a 3-day stint hosted by the KMSFA which I'm grateful for.
