Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions: For general questions, your first resource is this website. If you can’t find the answer to your question, please reach out to your team liaison. If the liason cannot answer your question, they will reach out to the coaches and get back to you.

If your son (or you) want to discuss playing time, here is the process.

• First, your son should speak to his position coach.
• If that doesn’t resolve the issue, your son should speak to his offensive or defensive coordinator.
• If that doesn’t resolve the issue, your son should speak to his head coach.
• If that doesn’t resolve the issue, you can reach out to your liaison to schedule a time for you and your son to meet with his head coach.

Coaches need as much time as possible to focus on coaching. One of the jobs of the parent liaisons is to handle parents general questions. What about playing time? Your sons coaches are doing more than teaching your son football. They're also teaching them to become young men. Part of that process is learning how to self-advocate, learning how to have difficult (or even uncomfortable) conversations and also learning how to handle adversity. Having a conversation with their coaches about what they can do to improve should serve some valuable lessons.

District funding has been cut substantially. To supplement this gap we receive donations through corporate sponsorships, and parents. Each family’s donation is critical to the success of TPHS Football. Without it, we could not run the program. Here are some of the costs not covered by the district: 13 coaches Helmets – $700 ea. Facemasks – $70 ea. Jerseys and pants – $300 ea Pads – $150-$450 (depending on position) Hudl – $15,000 Everything else: team meals, training equipment, field equipment, coaches equipment, laundry services, end of season banquets, FB facility upgrades, administrative expenses, and more.

Absolutely! All donations go to the Torrey Pines High School Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization (Federal Tax ID #33-0580018).

Our team store vendor (BSN) has customers like us all over the world. They offer custom-designed merchandise for thousands of teams. When you place an order, BSN is pulling from real-time inventory; however, team orders don't get placed until the store closes, and by that time inventory has changed. For Example: Lets say when our store opens on April 20th there are 50 Nike back backs in stock. Between April 20th and April 27th you, and other Falcon families order 10 total nike back packs. On April 28th a different schools store closes and they've ordered 49 nike back packs. When our store closes on May 1st, there aren't enough Nike back backs in stock to fill our order. At that point substitutions are offered or items are cancelled. We recognize this is a disappointing experience. And while we're not sure why the BSN team stores operate this way, we are investigating alternatives for next year. We are also planning to offer similar Falcon Football gear at all home games.

In 2023, we plan to offer merchandise at every home game. We are also looking into options for an "always on" online store. However, we've been told those stores offer lower-quality merchandise. Our team store (through BSN) has a local representative, whose job it is to ensure our satisfaction. If we go to an always-on store, we will have limited support. Before we go this route, we need to do some due diligence.
