Secretary and Head of Athletic Directors: Brittany Smith

All you need is a brilliant and organized mind who makes it her goal to keep things in control and seamless and you have Mrs. Smith.

Brittany has wasted no time using her wisdom and knowledge that seem to come naturally for her to keep every piece of this organization together.

She spends most of her time dedicated to her 3 children who all have a love for football, and you will always hear her on the sidelines telling her boys to “hit someone” at a football game, a sport she loves so much. Although she understands the rules of the game, she leads with gentle grace and loves being able to help families get involved in sports, and has dedicated her life in this same way.

Head of Coaches: Kevin Smith

Coach Smith has multiple goals for his staff; Most importantly is assuring that the players have FUN! This exemplifies his coaching style for the past 10 years and it won't ever change. He believes the only reason we even have this program is because the kids are absolutely needing to come FIRST.

He promotes his coaches to impart further goals with the Generals to succeed not only in Football but in life. Winning is nice but winning to Coach Kevin is seeing the kid that tried to quit week 1, but by mid-season he is having the time of his life, constantly eager to PLAY!

Assistant Head of Coaches: DJ Crider

You will see Coach Crider on the sidelines pumping up not only the kids but motivating the coaches to rally around the kids in a fun positive way.

He is a Hope University alumnus who played full ride scholarship for soccer and had an above average Baseball career. He coached High School teams with his whole heart and dedicated himself to community sports for a number of years. His dream was coaching his own kids since he was a child in sports himself, hoping he could impart his own sports knowledge to all of the youth who would gather in his time as a coach in multiple sports.

Our coach Leatherman desires nothing more than being a part of a team that is upstanding and creates athletic and GOOD people.

He realizes the “Best Work,“ is the work that grows young boys to be “Great Men,“ and he is happy to be a part of it all.
