Youth Experience Clinic Planned for Military Bowl/Hall of Fame Classic

FROM THE CHSCA SITE

We are excited to announce that this year on June 29, prior to the 2013 Connecticut High School All-Star Football game, the Connecticut High School coaches Association will run our Youth Experience Fundamentals Football Clinic. The clinic is open to all youth players from the ages of eight years to 14 years old.

Our Youth Experience Clinic will feature 10 separate fundamental skills stations that each player will rotate through by age group. Players will get an opportunity to learn new skills, drills and techniques taught by youth and high school football coaches.

Three of the stations will be competition stations with prizes awarded to top performers. Fundamental skills and drills will be taught for quarterbacks, offensive linemen, receivers, running backs, defensive linemen, line backers and defensive backs.

Competition stations will include:
• Passing for accuracy and distance;
• 30-yard dash for time;
• Agility shuttle for time.

The first 200 participants to register will be enrolled in the Youth Football Clinic. Please register early as this clinic will sell out.

All youth players who attend our Youth Experience Clinic will be admitted to the All-Star game free of charge when accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents or guardians of the players attending the youth clinic will be required to purchase at least one ticket to the football game. All youth players who attend the high school game will be eligible for a drawing to be held for 12 NFL authentic footballs.

On Thursday, two days after being officially appointed East Haven’s new football coach, Anthony Lucibello met with his new team for two hours.

He is relishing the opportunity to turn around the Yellowjackets’ moribund program, one that has suffered many losing seasons in the Southern Connecticut Conference. And he wanted to be straight with the players right from the start.

“I told them to cancel their gym memberships. The only place they will be lifting is at East Haven High School,” said Lucibello, 43, a teacher at Whitney Tech. “The East Haven teams I played against while I was in high school (at North Haven) had success. It’s been quite some time since they have been successful, obviously. ...You play together, you go to school together. It’s about building an entire program and the way you carry yourself.”

Lucibello, a Cheshire resident, has been a career assistant at several schools, including North Haven, Guilford, Hyde, Hamden and, most recently, Cheshire.

Ted Boynton has been named the new Head Football Coach. Coach Boynton has been an assistant coach the past ten years beginning in 2003 under former coach Jeff Bevino. Also, he has been the head boys’ track and field coach since 2008. 
 

Father Bill Sangiovanni, President of Notre Dame was very pleased with the committee’s selection knowing there were many excellent candidates.

 "Ted has been with the program for many years beginning with Coach Bevino. Now as he enters his role as head coach, I am sure his commitment to our student-athletes and his loyalty to Notre Dame will both be contributing factors to his success.” 

Chris Cipriano, Principal added, " Ted has been a constant in our football program for many years, he knows it well, and I look forward to seeing him assume the role of head coach. We certainly appreciate his loyalty to the program and support his vision for growth of the football program and all of our student-athletes."

AD Rob Bleggi stated, “Ted has played a big part as an assistant football coach at Notre Dame for the last ten years. His knowledge and understanding of the game of football is undeniable. I am very excited to have Ted as our head coach as we move towards the future of our program.” 

Coach Ted Boynton, “It will be a rebuilding process as we will go back to basics. We will work on the fundamentals of the game every day. We will reinforce the foundation which is in place, set short term goals and must learn to win in practice on a daily basis. Practices will be organized, the staff will be prepared and energized, and our student-athletes will work hard each day. I will challenge my players, my staff and myself every day. I would like to thank everyone involved in the hiring process as well as administration for this great opportunity. I am very excited to continue coaching football as the head coach here at Notre Dame. I love the students and the school and look forward to coaching here for years to come.”

Connecticut’s top senior football player, Ansonia running back Arkeel Newsome, has been nominated to play in the 2014 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Those nominated will have the chance to showcase their talents on Saturday, January 4, 2014, in the annual East vs. West match-up, televised live on NBC at 1:00 PM EST.

“The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is a unique celebration of high school athletes, musicians and the American Soldier,” said Mark S. Davis, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for marketing. “These nominations recognize the mental, emotional and physical strengths, as well as the leadership qualities the nominees possess both on and off the field; qualities reflective of Army Strong Soldiers. We look forward to showcasing their talents and those of our Soldiers during the Army All American Bowl Selection Tour and Game Week.”

The athletes were nominated by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, which consists of All American Games, 247Sports – the Bowl’s official online recruiting network -- and All American Games’ network of regional coaches throughout the country. Of the 400 nominees, 90 will be selected and invited to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The next step for the nominees occurs in September, when the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Tour begins. Player finalists along with U.S. Army All-American Marching Band musicians will be announced nationwide throughout the Fall, with the Selection Tour ending in early December.

For more than a decade, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl has been the Nation’s premier high school football game, serving as the preeminent launching pad for America’s future college and NFL stars. Adrian Peterson and Andrew Luck both made their national debuts as U.S. Army All-Americans. In the 2012 NFL Draft Andrew Luck became the first U.S. Army All-American Bowl alumnus to be selected with the first overall pick. The 2013 U.S. Army All-American Bowl drew a record crowd of 40,133 to the Alamodome, and was the most-watched sporting event on television over the weekend, excluding the NFL playoffs.
