2026 Schedule
There is a LOT of great football happening across Southeast Idaho!
We love seeing these young athletes compete, learn, grow, and have fun playing the game they love.
But we also want to take a moment to remind everyone of something that is bigger than football.
We are here to lead and develop young people.
Our athletes are watching us — all the time.
They watch how coaches respond to officials. They watch how parents react to a tough play. They watch how we handle frustration, disagreements, wins and losses.
Unfortunately, we have seen some behavior on the sidelines and in the stands over the first two weeks that does not represent who we want to be as a league.
When we allow our emotions to take control, we aren't setting the example these young people deserve. Coach behavior bleeds over to the athletes, and the behavior of adults in the stands influences our kids as well.
As coaches, we have a responsibility to:
Set the example.
Control our own emotions.
Keep our sidelines under control.
Address inappropriate behavior when we see it.
Show respect to officials, opponents, coaches and spectators.
Remember that winning is important, but developing young people is the mission.
And for everyone in the stands — remember that the kids can hear you, see you and feel your emotions. Let’s make sure what they see from us is something worth following.
These are young people learning how to compete, handle adversity, work with others and conduct themselves with character.
Let’s show them how it’s done.
Let’s keep the great football going.
Let’s compete hard.
Let’s have fun.
And most importantly, let’s be the example our kids deserve.
