For the last 2 ½ months the RYCA Jacket Football teams have been working several hours a week to get ready for the football season that starts Saturday, September 07, 2013. The teams will be competing against from players in and around Rockwall County.
The RYCA has built one of the largest and premier football leagues in North Texas. These kids have trained with the Rockwall Jacket Football coaches, volunteer coaches, and parents. The community has joined together not only to support their children, but to support their friends and children of their friends as well.
RYCA is school and grade pure, and supported by Rockwall High School Football Head Coach Rodney Webb. Not only is this program vertically aligned with the high school, but it is strong on community values. Every game will feature kids who will be given an opportunity learn how to win with class, and handle the disappointment of defeat.
Yes, it is just a game. However, isn’t life? In life, we encounter victories and triumphs. We have to work with others to accomplish goals. The best isn’t always good enough, and sometimes calls don’t go our way. It isn’t always about the outcome, but it is about the journey.
Rockwall Youth Community Association is just that. When you watch your Jackets suit up in the morning, and travel to the field; remember, that this is all part of the journey. When they make a great play or miss an easy tackle; it doesn’t really matter in the end. What matters is did they give their best. Did they represent themselves and the community they play for the right way?
In the end, they are all Jackets. The score will show that one team is victorious and the other didn’t quite accomplish their goal of the day. However, that is where the learning starts to really take place. That is when the coaching has to be at its best. This is when parenting is the upmost important. The lessons taught through victory and defeat will prepare your Jacket for their future endeavors in life.
Here is to a great season of Rockwall Youth Football. Enjoy the games!
Jacket Fight Never Dies.
