Milford Athletics is excited to announce the appointment of David Way as the new Head Football Coach at Milford Central Academy!
Coach Way brings more than a decade of football coaching experience, with a proven record of developing young athletes and building successful programs. His coaching background includes youth football, Pop Warner, AYF, flag football, and semi-professional football.
Before joining Milford, Coach Way served as Head Coach and President of the Beacon Bears Football and Cheer organization in New York, where he led the program to three conference championships and four division championships. He also founded the Beacon Bears Flag Football program and served as Defensive Coordinator for the NY Bears.
Coach Way joined Milford Central Academy as an assistant football coach last season, where he quickly became an invaluable member of the program. In addition to coaching, he played a key role in creating offensive and defensive playbooks, developing wristband systems, managing the program's social media and photography, and supporting equipment, scheduling, and day-to-day operations.
His extensive experience in program management, fundraising, facilities, equipment, scheduling, and staff leadership will be a tremendous asset as he leads the next chapter of MCA Football.
Coach Way's coaching philosophy centers on developing student-athletes through discipline, accountability, effort, teamwork, and character.
"I have coached athletes from Tiny Mites through high school-aged players. The one thing I am proudest of is watching those kids grow up and become high school athletes. It's not about the wins and losses—it's about teaching accountability, effort, discipline, and teamwork while helping them build confidence both on and off the field. I am committed to developing not only the players but the entire program."
Please join us in congratulating Coach David Way as he takes the reins of the Milford Central Academy Football program!
