Avon Old Farms Honors Late Coach Frank DiCocco
DiCocco was more than a coach and helped develop many young men into real men and gentlemen.
Avon Old Farms School officially dedicated it’s football season to late coach and H.O.P.E. Foundation founder Frank DiCocco Sept. 20.
DiCocco’s parents Kathy and Lou DiCocco and sister Nicole DiCocco were presented with a framed football jersey Frank wore years ago along with his football helmet.
Each football players’ helmet will have the R.E.A.L. Man paw logo on it and the school started its R.E.A.L. Man class on Sunday night. RealManInc is a non-profit that DiCocco was involved in that offers advice on how young men can become gentlemen.
