About Me: I have been coaching youth football for 14 years. The first two years as an assistant coach and the past ten years as the Head Coach for the Kettering Firebirds Bantam squad. I love coaching this age. The kids come in eager to learn and they haven't had the opportunity to learn any bad habits so they pickup what I am trying to teach quickly. Plus it is exciting teaching them to make their first tackle or scoring their first touchdown.
My Coaching philosophy: It is simply to let the kids have fun and take away from the season a positive experience. I try to give them a complete package including Offense, Defense, SAQ training, and some life lessons thrown in. Although every player wont get to play every position on the field I try to get each player into as many positions as possible and every eligble player on my team gets to carry the ball at some point in the season. No young football player signs up wanting to be a blocker all season. They all have dreams of getting into the endzone so I try to give them that chance.

See you at the field,
Coach Craig Thomas
