After Mansfield Little Leagues success last football season, the program was still hungry for more. So how do you get more when you’re already on top? Simple. You put a “Moore” in as head coach for each team. The Little League Tiger community voted in David Moore as the third and fourth grade Head Coach after he led the team to their WCFL Championship last season. Shortly after that, last season’s third and fourth grade Assistant Coach, Steven Moore, was voted in as the fifth and sixth grade Head Coach.
The Moore brothers are no strangers to Mansfield football. Both are alums of Mansfield and are well known throughout the Mansfield Little League sports programs. Steven was a key part of the 2009 Sr High Tigers third round Playoff run, playing Fullback and Defensive End. His brother David followed suit playing Fullback and Linebacker. Their achievements didn’t end after school though. They have each coached Little League baseball and football and have led those teams to great success.
First year fifth and sixth grade Head Coach, Steven Moore, said “I want to help the youth programs around here as much as possible. I enjoy teaching kids the basic skills in their sports and seeing them succeed. Mansfield football is moving in a great direction at all levels and to be able to be a part of that overall growth is great. Even though this is my first season as head coach for football, I know we’ll do great. We have some great athletes and we are looking forward to winning a whole lot of games this season.”
Second year third and fourth grade Head Coach, David Moore, said “Mansfield is a great community with a lot of pride for its youth. We have great kids here who love to compete. That in itself makes it fun to coach. Our goal in coaching is to teach the kids the game to our best ability and to have as much fun with them as we can while learning the game. We want to see the kids be the best student-athletes they can be and have that transfer into their Junior High and High School levels.”
David and Steven have many things going for them this upcoming season. They have some very talented athletes. They have coaching experience. And they have a successful history in coaching. They even have the Mansfield Little League community standing behind them. But the most important thing they have is a deep passion for working with kids and the heart of a Tiger.
