Mission Statement:
Build a Championship Culture That is Aligned with Class, Integrity, and Academic Excellence!
The Edinburg High School Football program strives to prepare our students to win with integrity in academics, in athletics, and in life. In collaboration with the educational experience that is provided at ECISD, we will provide administrative and coaching support, facilities, resources, and equipment necessary for student-athletes to be successful. Athletics should function as an integral part of the total curriculum. It should offer opportunities to serve as the institution, to assist in the development of fellowship and good will, to promote self-realization and all-around growth, and to encourage learning the qualities of good citizenship and sportsmanship. This synergy will promote the following core values of the football program: Discipline, Toughness, & Respect.

Football Program Overview
Our football program is dedicated to using the sport as a vehicle for developing outstanding young men of character. From the moment a student-athlete joins our team, our primary focus is to instill confidence in them to excel both on and off the field. We set a high standard of excellence that encompasses their actions in every aspect of life.
Coaching Philosophy
Our coaching staff serves as exemplars of the values we uphold. We believe it is essential to demonstrate Discipline, Toughness, and Respect in everything we do. Each student-athlete who enters our fieldhouse is valued not just for their athletic abilities but for their overall potential and worth as individuals.
Individual Development
Understanding that every player contributes uniquely to our program, we emphasize the importance of each role. Whether on the field or in their personal lives, we strive to empower our players to understand and fulfill their responsibilities with dedication and purpose.
Positive Environment
Negativity has no place in our program. We are committed to adapting our coaching styles to fit the learning needs of each athlete. This involves building relationships with teachers and parents to support our players' academic and personal growth. We believe that by coaching with positivity and encouragement, we foster an environment where every player can thrive.
Commitment to Excellence
As a team, we embody aggressiveness and passion. We play each game with relentless determination and maintain a focus on fundamental skills. Our coaching approach emphasizes teaching and practicing these fundamentals rigorously, ensuring that our passion and aggression translate into performance on game night.
Practice and Preparation
We approach every practice with purpose. It is here that we hone our skills, cultivate our competitive spirit, and reinforce our commitment to excellence. We demand the same level of effort and intensity from ourselves as we do from our athletes, setting a standard of dedication that drives our success.
In summary, our football program is more than just a sports team; it is a community dedicated to nurturing young men of character. Through football, we teach life lessons, foster personal growth, and strive for excellence in everything we do.
