A message from Coach Dan Hawkins...
Future Stars/Down Under Bowl participants:
I look forward to meeting all of you and experiencing the people and places in
Australia!
I have been in the kid business for over 30 years. I have four grown kids (all athletes
and two who played gridiron collegiately) and 4 (soon to be 5) grandkids. I have
coached football, baseball, basketball, and track in my career. I have coached 5 year
olds all the way through professionals. I have coached men and women. No task
too small or too big for us to handle. Being a great teacher and positive motivator is a
must at every level. We have enjoyed making a positive difference in the lives of others and bringing the joy of sport
to people’s lives.
I have been a head coach, and offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, and a special teams coordinator in
college. I have coached every position on offense except O line, and LB’s in college. My experience has been at
high school, Collegiate NAIA level, Collegiate Division 2 level, Collegiate Division 1 level, and professionally in the
Canadian Football League.
My goal is for the participants to have a positive, fun, and educational experience. An experience that has a positive
immediate impact and lasts with you your whole life. Football is more than a game when done right- it’s about life. I
want you to experience a safe learning environment that they can build on your skills regardless your current level of
performance. Hopefully you are inspired to continue play and achieve in the sport of GRIDIRON!
I am looking forward to working with all of you and developing positive relationships with everyone!
Thanks!
Coach Hawk
