Knoxville Youth Football Programs

Last year they did have a meeting on this matter and basically Allen lambert said that any program can go anywhere they want to get a player. No program is restricted to one certain area. This isnt middle school football. All this crap on free shoes and money is false. Pilot does not buy shoes. Pilot only suplies the football paids needed. Also pilot coaches do not get paid. If giving a coaches gift to a nearby resturante is getting paid then i guess ur right.

Yeah there's no rule on which Little league team your son or daughter plays on and No one said that Pilot recruits. The only thing I've been saying is Pilot use the Green and J's to lure the players to their program to win. I never knew of a little league program using those things just to win a championship. Pilot does pay their coaches!!!!!!!

 

And the AD of the county he's weird. When the city was in charge of the championships, the winner team used to get a big trophy but Allen only presents a small trophy for each player and each coach.

 

 

Why is it that only 1 Pilot team played in the Youth Jamboree last year? Are you all to good to play in the Jamboree?

My son plays for a Pilot team and my husband was asked to help coach last year and this coming season. Neither one of them received any money or shoes. I don't know about any other players but I can say that no one gave anything to them. I know that some of the players come from upper-class families,but we are just your typical middle working class. We came to the Knoxville Youth Program because our local program was full of bickering and jealousy. Apparently, this behavior knows no boundaries. I do not know what happens on the other Pilot teams, I just know what happens on ours.

I promise you that they dont pay there coaches. Most of the coaches are dads that just have sons on the teams. I know this b/c i used to play for pilot and my dad and brothers coached pilot teams. I also know that they dont pay little kids to come play football.

How long ago was that? This is 2004 and unless the peeps that goes to my church is lying and the player from my basketball team is lying then I'm on your side. But as of now, I'm going with they do pay their coaches and use their money to brive the kids to come play with their program. Pilot has a great program not to get me wrong but going out on the limb and using essentials for just trying to win a Little League football championship is just booty. There's other ways to win besides using the money.

HEy AE Roadrunner I am going to agree with you, because the Knox Falcons do not have to bribe there players to win championships, we just win... AE Roadrunner who is the kid off of the bball team that plays for Pilot... It is "Lester"... And I am going to go out on a limb and say, Knox Falcons football will win at least 4 titles this year...

I FEEL THERE IS MORE TO JUDGING A PROGRAM THAN WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS.I HAVE COACHED IN THE CITY YOUTH LEAGUE, COUNTY YOUTH LEAGUE, AND NOW THE METRO LEAGUE. EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT WINNING METRO CHAMPIONSHIPS WHICH I HAVE ALSO DONE, BUT BOTH THE CITY AND COUNTY MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY COMBINED AND CREATED THE METRO LEAGUE. EACH AGE GROUP HAS TWO DIVISIONS AND ORIGINALLY, THE MOST WINNING PROGRAMS FROM THE CITY AND COUNTY WERE PLACED IN ONE DIVISION EXAMPLE- HALLS, CBFO, CENTRAL, Bearden, AE, THE RAIDERS, AND PILOT. AND THE LEAST WINNING TEAMS WERE PLACED IN THE OTHER LEAGUE EXAMPLE- INSKIP, FALCONS, SOUTH KNOXVILLE, Gibbs, Powell.

ETC.IT MADE THE SCHEDULE TOUGH BECAUSE THERE WERE NO EASY GAMES SO TO SPEAK, BUT IT DID CREATE TWO VERY COMPETITIVE LEAGUES IN EACH DIVISION, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS IT ALLOWED KIDS IN SOME OF THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS TO EXPERIENCE WINNING, WHICH IN TURN HAS TO PROMOTE CONFIDENCE AND CREATE A MORE SUCCESSFUL MIND SET.

I PERSONALLY HAVENT ALWAYS WON CHAMPIONSHIPS, BUT I GAUGE MY SUCCESS BY THE POSITIVE INFLUENCE WE AS COACHES LEAVE ON KIDS TO HELP THEM IN EVERYDAY LIFE, AND MY PAY IS REWARDED WHEN THOSE SAME KIDS COME UP SEVERAL YEARS LATER WITH A HUG AND THANK YOU.

I feel, you are right. It's just amazing how your former players walk up to you and say, "What's up Coach?" Or "Thank you for encourging me when I played on your team." I like the way the Metro league is set up. I feel as though they should award bigger championship trophies though but besides that, it's all good!

 

 

What team do you coach or what team did you coach?

is it "Lester"

 

 

No it's a player from the EKBL league.

 

And saying Knox Falcons will win 4 ships is mighty bold. You know they have to go through the BABY ROADRUNNERS just like the big Falcons has to go through the Big ROADRUNNERS. It's nothing new. ;)

 

The Knox Falcons Pee Wees will need to get Mr. Freeman on the team and then you all might come close to the PO's since they didn't make it last year.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
