PARENT
PLAYBOOK
WELCOME
WELCOME TO CENTENNIAL KNIGHTS FOOTBALL. OUR MISSION IS TO DEVELOP YOUNG MEN WHO PURSUE EXCELLENCE IN EVERYTHING THEY DO. THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING US TO CHALLENGE YOUR SON AND FOR PARTNERING WITH US TO BUILD SOMETHING SPECIAL.
OUR
VALUES
UNITY
We are one team, one family. What affects one affects all.
KNIGHTHOOD
We carry the honor of the shield on the field, in the classroom, and in our community.
NOBLE
We hold ourselves to a higher standard in how we speak, act, and compete.
INTEGRITY
We do what's right when no one is watching because character is who you are in the dark.
GRIT
We embrace adversity, push through pain, and refuse to quit when it matters most.
HONOR
We represent our school, our families, and each other with pride in everything we do.
TOUGHNESS
We are mentally and physically prepared to compete at the highest level every single day.
EXCELLENCE
We pursue the highest standard in preparation, performance, and purpose.
DISCIPLINE
We do the right things, the right way, every time. Because championships are built in the details.
PARENTING FOR
SUCCESS
Ensure your player is on-time, properly equipped, and ready to give their all at every practice and game.
Promote healthy habits, including proper sleep, nutrition, and hydration.
Reinforce positive attitudes and encouragement. Model the behavior you want to see on the field and in life.
Communicate proactively with coaches regarding absences, scheduling conflicts, or emergencies.
Support the Centennial Knights through fundraising and volunteering.
SUCCEEDING AS A
STUDENT-ATHLETE
Our program is committed to developing young men who pursue excellence in the classroom with the same effort and discipline they bring to the field. Academic success is not just a requirement for participation, it is a foundational part of who we are.
We expect every player to prioritize the "student" role by managing time wisely, completing assignments, and communicating with teachers. Student-athletes must meet GHSA academic eligibility requirements and remain on track for graduation. Coaches actively monitor academic progress and work alongside parents and teachers to support every student.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
BEST TIME FOR A VACATION?
Ideally, the weeks of May 23-31 or July 1-5, is the best time to take a vacation. These are GHSA Dead Weeks and allow your family to enjoy time away without missing practice, camps, or other important activities.
HOW SHOULD I COMMUNICATE A CONCERN TO COACHES?
If you have a question or concern, please email your Head Coach with a request to set up an appointment. Under no circumstances should you expect to speak with a coach immediately before, during, or after a game.
WHAT ABOUT WEATHER-RELATED ISSUES?
On days where inclement weather may be a factor, it's critical that you monitor official communication channels for updates. As a program, we abide by all GHSA and league standards regarding weather regulations.
WHAT ARE ACCLIMATION DAYS?
Before full-contact practices begin, GHSA mandates a 5-day acclimation period where athletes practice in helmets and shorts only to safely adjust to weather conditions. Attendance is required for participation in subsequent practices.
WHAT SHOULD MY PLAYER WEAR ON GAMEDAY?
Players are strongly encouraged to wear BLACK cleats for games. All other necessary game gear will be provided. All undershirts and accessories should be program colors unless otherwise specified.
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS FOR MY PLAYER?
Please schedule doctor, dentist, orthodontic, or other appointments outside of scheduled practice times. Most importantly, communicate any planned absences to your head coach as early as possible.
