Pee Wee

Hello! My name is Gary Duvall and I am excited to be the Head Coach for the Pee Wee Football team for the 2023-2024 season. To begin I wanted to share some brief information about myself as a coach. I have had previous head football coaching experience at the middle school level along with assistant coaching experience at the high school level. As my kids have become involved with youth sports, I have looked to help out when possible as I know that finding volunteers is a hard task. Last year I was fortunate to be the Head Coach of the Mighty Mites and I have come to appreciate all of the people that make the Panther Youth football organization a special place to be a part of. I look forward to taking on the task of mentoring and teaching this group of young men to be steadfast in their pursuit of success on and off the field as high character individuals. I appreciate your support in advance this season as our coaches teach the essential building blocks of how to become better players. Thanks again for allowing your child to be a part of this season and as always Go Panthers!!
