Exclusive Interview with Boys Flag Football Coach- Coach Tony Jones
January 21, 2021
Q: How are the tryouts being held?
A: We’re going to have them in pods with 20 people per pod, so we’re going to have to split [the players] into groups. If we had 40 kids, we are going to have 20 people at a time. It’s going to be different, a little more difficult than what we’re used to, but we’ll get through it.
Q: What are you doing as the coach to be preparing for tryouts?
A:We are doing forehead scans, cleaning the balls, making sure everything is sanitary, and trying to keep everybody as separated as possible to comply by the CDC rules.
Q: Is the team going to be smaller than it was in the past years?
A: Typically it’s going to be the same size- we normally carry about fifteen players, this year we’ll probably carry fourteen, so it’s going to be about the same size.
Q:What is your goal for this season?
A: To win the county championship, that’s the goal every year!
Q: Why do you enjoy coaching?
A:I love the sport, I played it growing up, and being able to give back to the students what I learned, to give it back to the ones that are growing up so they can have the same type of love that I had.
