Electric Football/Buzzball in Our Public Schools in NJ
I would first like to thank all of the electric football Coaches out there that helped make our program a success. Coach Ed, my friend and mentor, Coach Raiderman for the weekly agendas and invite into the NHFL, Coach Joe "the Coach of the year hands down", Coach Jack of "Buzzball Central", The National One and the Philly Crew, Coach Norbert, Coach Jim.Davis, my great friend and the master of the "looper neautralizer 101 theory" Coach K-Lo, Coach Geno, Coach Bill, the Kansas Crew, Coach stacey, Coach George Diamond, and every Coach that has thought of us, sent teams and or just shared your wisdom with me for I always passed it down to the jr coaches.
I thank you. NJ is in fiscal crisis and as a result my position as Family Liaison has been cut for 07-08. I am very optomistic about the future and I really want the EF buzz to stay alive in the public schools in New Brunswick, no matter where I end up. Watching these studenst develop coaching skills each week brought a great joy to my heart and I am sure other Coaches as well that supported our dream. We made history...... June 1st, 2007 we will have our 2nd Buzzball/Martial Arts Banquet. If any Coaches would like to send any Buzzball related items as gifts for my students that will be greatly appreciated. I have attempted to get most of them boards, but I am only one Coach of many. Many great Coaches have sent teams, basses and the boys have loved them. Many original jr coaches have moved on to the middle school or transfered out. I hope to send each child away with 2 teams and possibly a board, so that they can continue to compete with eachother throughout the summer, and hopefuly their life time. "Keeps them off the streets"I have sprung for a few Football trophies and the deal is that I am planning 2 banquets in 1. It worked last year. If you can not or do not wish to  send anything please simply call as a well wisher during the banquet which starts at 6:00PM and ends at 8:30PM June 1, 2007, we will have dinner and a karate demonstration as well as an awards ceremony. If you are in the NJ area and wish to stop by please do. The address is Electric Football/Buzzball Club Lord Stirling Community School 101 Redmond St New Brunswick, NJ 08901 Coach Karim my desk # 732-745-5300 ext 6808 my cell if you wish to call on 6/1 is 1-908-239-1172 hope to hear from you Coaches. Thanks in advance Coach Karim "CJ Bombing Jets & Shakil's" I hope that my last day of EF with the jr coaches go's out with a Buzz" Last edited by GrandMasterKC : 05-15-2007 at 12:17 PM.

That group of kids
Karim,
I'm sorry to hear about this news. I am just reading it now as well. I don't know how I missed it but I did have a busy month of May. That is a GREAT group of kids and they will never forget you. What you did (do) for them is awesome. I'm glad I was able to get there one time to witness it. Take care bud and good luck finding your new adventure. Losing a job is tough but I know each time I lost mine there was always something better. Keep us posted. RAIDERMAN

Thanks Coaches
Coach RM,
I must state you are one of the founding Fathers of the return to EFL drive in NB, NJ. I thank you my Brother. I thank God(see I said it in the school(LOL) inside joke) for allowing our paths to cross and may we continue to stay connected. The invite to the NHFL was not only for me but for all of the students that wonder what their truest potential can be when challenged.:  : Coach thanks and the weekly agendas helped make some very competetive jr.coaches. Coach RM we just crowned our 06-07 Champ "DAnthony" the kid that kept asking you can he run plays that were penalty ridden when you came down) he beat Kelvin (Coach Staceys guy The "Chiefs") thanks. 21-14. An epic battle.Coach George Diamond, I got your message, thanks. My desk is local only but you can call 12:20-1 732-745-5300 ext 6808. All is not lost I have summer work and I will DJ and teach private Martial Arts classess for the summer.

The boat
Oh sure, put me in a boat with a couple of old guys. Who do think will do all the rowing??!! Coach Ed will be looking for his new passion - COWS! Joey G will be yelling at the other boats in the river, "YOU DON'T RESPECT ME DO YOU??!!" Both of them will be telling ME I have 3 hours to cross the river or they're pulling the boat out from under me. Both of them will want to know the stats of how fast I'm rowing per minute. Ed will be reading me the rules the entire way across the river of how to row across a river. No thanks, I'll just stay on the shore where I can run away from them! LOL!!

Raiderman is one of the big reasons that I got back into the game a few years ago. I also live in New Jersey. If I can do anything to help in the future let me know. I live in Warren County. I also know Joe G who is a great coach and a good guy.
Good luck finding a job that you like. I am sure that you will. Brian

 Coach K-Lo,it was well worth the ride and I had a great time. I hope to visit again. It was you and Coach Pratt that told me how to best stop the pass and utilize my safeties effectively. I always revert back to Coach Ed.Roche, a great friend and the inspiration for my desire to keep playing. Through him I met Coaches RaiderMan, Joe G, Norbert, Jeasymoney, K-Lo, Rip, National One,.......and the family continues to grow. I will call the Coaches for wisdom and inspiration and they will share w/o reservation. I thank all of you Coaches that help elevate this game and make competition a Coaching influenced contest enabled by the proper bases needed to give us new people a chance to get out there and simply "believe" we have a chance at winning. This confidence empowered me to start Coaching with strategy in mind because my team had the necesary talent to keep me in games. I lost 17-0 back to back my first 2 games last year receive some draft picks from Coach Norbert, Jim Davis, K-Lo, Pratt...and then my games were 6-0 only giving up 2 FG, overtime 10-7, ..I ended my season 3-5 and made the NHF playoffs....My point I was inspired by the talent of my draft pics to coach them and I asked the veteran Coaches....how do you coach? I called them after every game reviewing the performance of the draft pics sent and how do I utilize their talents better. Even when I lost I felt like I had a chance of winning! I will continue to ask that same questioned and I have been inspired to work on learning the art of tweaking some bases, but I know and respect what the best at tweaking bring to our hobby......experience, strength, and hope. Thanks and now I am ready to....Electric Football!!! I am willing to travel within the tri state area for some scrimmages. Give me a call 908-239-1172 Coach Karim.
