Memo: LFCA Membership 2022-2023

Coaches,

Hope all is well with you, your team, and families.  Memberships have been coming in since July and electronic cards are being sent out as individual members and Member Schools join/resubscribe for 2022-23.   Remember for all team owners of Member Schools to add all your coaches and have them login.  (click here for details) Otherwise they will not show up on the member list of your school and receive the electronic membership card.   We’ve generated a Member School list and an individual member list that will be posted so you will know your membership or your school’s membership was extended.

LSU has committed with the setup we’ve had in the past for home games and we will communicate more on that prior to football season.

In 2018, the Broyles Award added to its 25-year tradition of honoring the nation’s best collegiate
assistant football coaches through the creation of the High School Broyles Award. This award
recognizes the top high school assistant football coach in every participating state, projecting
their excellence onto the national stage. The Louisiana Football Coaches Association is proud
to partner with the Broyles Foundation to recognize the great assistant coaches in our state.
The Louisiana Broyles Award winner will be announced by the Broyles Foundation this summer.

Sincerely,

Dwain Jenkins
President

Coaches,

Over the last four years, LFCA and Big Game USA have worked together to offer custom-tailored Team Issue brand game footballs to Louisiana High Schools. Since 2018, our relationship with Big Game USA has provided several key advantages:

•  The total proceeds from the LFCA | Big Game USA agreement has contributed $22,403 to help fund activities and programs in Louisiana!
• The fully customized Team Issue game ball is still $74.95 per ball; the price has remained the same for high schools in Louisiana since 2018.
• 100+ high schools in the state of Louisiana have made the Team Issue brand their official game ball.
• 14 Louisiana high schools have won a state football championship using Big Game USA game balls. (click here for the list)
• Here are some additional reasons we chose to work with Big Game USA:
  • Big Game USA builds nearly all college game footballs for teams like LSU, Clemson, Oklahoma, Oregon and Alabama to name a few. And Team Issue brand is the official game ball for NAIA and JUCO colleges across the USA.
  • Team Issue footballs are NFHS approved. Not only will they customize the leather, stripe, laces and shape to fit your QB’s hand, they creatively stamp the football to be all about YOUR brand.

While this agreement does not require us to use any particular football, it benefits Louisiana Coaches to use Team Issue brand game balls. So, we ask you to join us and support the company that made a commitment to us. Please contact Big Game USA by contacting one of the representatives listed below to get your team equipped with some amazing game footballs.  Click here for more information on your Big Game representative.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Dwain Jenkins
President

Memo: LFCA Membership 2021-2022

Coaches,

Hope all is well with you, your team, and families.  All 2020-2021 memberships officially expire on 07/31/2021, however since 2020 was basically lost as far as a our clinic, etc., the LFCA has decided to extend any school or individual that had renewed their membership from early July to the end of December 2020.  We’ve generated a Member School list and an individual member list that will be posted so you will know your membership or your school’s membership was extended.  We have also sent the wallet cards (electronic) out to all members that were extended for 2021-2022 season.

If you did not renew your membership or your school’s membership in 2020 and your membership is a subscription, your credit card on file is automatically charged if you selected that option.

LSU has committed with the setup we’ve had in the past for home games and we will communicate more on that prior to football season.

Coaches,

As the regular season comes to a close and the attendance levels at the LHSAA Superdome Classic are still unknown, we will cancel the 2020 Superdome Clinic.  It is the hope to organize a spring clinic in its place.  At this time we do not know if it will be in person or virtual.  Please continue to remain diligent.

Next week we will release information on the All-State Selection Process.

Thank you for your leadership in your communities.
