In this jam-packed episode of The Field House Podcast, hosts Coach Tad and Coach Mash are joined by two incredible leaders in youth football: Coach Devonne Hinton (Parkview 8th Grade) and Coach John Lee (Kings Ridge 7th Grade). Episode 11 continues the Feeder Focus series, diving deep into the real challenges and real joys of building a successful feeder football program.

This episode hits hard on: 

•  Off-season prep – from 7-on-7s to lineman challenges to QB academies
•  Earning player and parent buy-in the right way (hint: it starts with care and communication)
• Culture setting with help from involved varsity head coaches like Adam Clack and Zach Slaney
• Fundamentals over flash – because blocking and tackling win games, not highlight reels
• Mentor systems to stay connected to players

From schemes and staffing to handling tough conversations with parents, this episode is a masterclass in leadership at the youth level.
