Football: City Section coaches to get second chance to attend meeting
- Share via
In years past, City Section football coaches who failed to show up to a mandatory coaches’ meeting were suspended for the season opener. Now they’re going to get a second chance.
Five head coaches and 13 paid assistant coaches failed to attend Saturday’s coaches’ meeting, and Commissioner John Aguirre has decided to hold a second meeting to give them a second chance. If they fail to attend the second meeting, they will be suspended from coaching in the opening game.
Aguirre said the change was made because the City Section is no longer under direction of the Los Angeles Unified School District, and he wants to get out information to all the coaches any way possible. Also new this year was requiring all paid coaches, including assistants, to attend.
He said one coach missed the meeting because he was getting married. Another attended a family reunion.
