School website: http://www.fbcapasadena.org/

They are playing as an "outlaw" six-man school as their enrollment is above the number to play district six-man football (>50 boys in grades 9-12); not sure if they plan to move to crowded field football anytime soon.

Our pastor's daughter teaches elementary school there and I think it's a pretty decent school. I know several other private schools in the Pasadena area have either closed or discontinued high school so they could be well suited to building their enrollment and their program.
 
thanks lifegate

i have already beat their website to death but dont get a lot of information out of it about their programs. so as an outlaw can they participate in playoffs or are they just playing football

As an outlaw program, they cannot participate in any TAPPS playoffs and if they play in an independent playoff, it must be concluded by the end of the regular season (Week 10).
 
John has summed up football pretty well. They play in a VERY tough basketball and baseball district that is nearly impossible to win. I actually visited with the head of school about their AD position that they just opened up, but will not be pursuing it for non-athletic reasons.

I did speak with one of their former coaches this weekend and was told that if you are looking to run an actual athletic program by today's standards that you might not be welcomed there. I guess you could read into that statement a lot of things.

The way that "I" read that statement is that they want to have an athletic program and that they want kids to be taught the fundamentals of the games, but they don't really care about the winning or the losing.

I don't "know" that to be the case, but that's how I took the coach's statements about leaving the school.

So at best it is something that you probably will want to talk about in an interview if you are a type of coach that is wanting to establish a "championship" type of program. And that is going to take a LOT of work seeings as who the district foes are at least in basketball and baseball (Kingwood Northeast Christian and The Woodlands Christian Academy).

And to compete against those schools you would have to find talent outside of the other "Christian" high schools in that area and venture into the public school arena and I don't know that FBA would be accomodating to that. But again this is all sepculation, but should give you something to think about.

Any word on what has happened here at Pasadena FBA? Did they make a decision?

I think Coach Ware posted that he still has them on his 2008 schedule, but that Pasadena FBA is hiring a new athletic director who could make the decision to play 11-man.

Of course, he'd better make up his mind pretty quick. Districts are organizing, and if theirs is anything like ours, we tend NOT to accept new teams late after the district schedule is set unless somebody drops out and the new team can accept the old team's schedule.

And TAPPS assigns that team to our distict.
 
I dont want to say that I have the position and can make any decisions but I am one of the finalist for the new AD position and if it were my decision to make I am staying six man bc we only had 15 guys play last year which we lost four before the season was over. I believe in Iron man football but i am not crazy enough to move up. I also think that it is the interest of the administration to remain 6 man at least for a few more years. I hope that helps.
