Spring Football Information

Hope this email finds everyone doing well. I'm very excited about our spring sports as they seem to be off to a good start. I know many of you are in the middle of those seasons but I wanted to update everyone about future events. Please forward this to any parents that you might know of that are interested in playing next year.

Spring Meeting: I'd like to meet with all of the football parents at some point in April. I will try to find an evening when our spring sports are playing at home & attempt to schedule a meeting in between them or an evening when both sports are not playing. This meeting will be about Summer workouts and fall events. More information coming soon.

Football Workouts: We will not be working out at school through Spring Break but after the break we will start working out 3 days a week on Monday, Tuesdays & Thursday (3-4:15 PM). These workouts are for anyone who is not in season in a school sport at the moment although I don't mind in-season athletes coming if they have permission from their current coach. I cannot stress enough, that if they are not playing a school sport (baseball or soccer) they need to be at these workouts!!! The workout program is the life blood of any sports program. I believe our summer workouts last year have helped not only in football but other sports as well. 

Youth Football: We will be having a 3rd-5th grade football team this fall (LORD willing). Sign ups will begin in late April. So if you know anyone that falls in that age range that might be interested let them know. We are able to have kids on our team that do not attend Riverside. We will be playing in the Lincoln County league.

Middle Tennessee Flag Football Tournament: We will be having a football fundraiser on Saturday May 3rd. The tournament is for church youth groups. The high school players will be expected to work and of course any parents that might be able to ref, keep time, or score would be great. The money raised will go towards new uniforms. More info coming soon.

Middle School Spring Practice Dates: May 5th-9th, 3:30-5:30 for any male RCA student who is going into 6th-8th Grade. We will have a sign-up for Spring football after Spring Break. This is an opportunity for potential new players to determine their interest in playing this fall.

High School Spring Practice Dates: May 12th-16th, 3:30-5:30 for any male RCA student who is going into 9th-12th Grade. We will have a sign-up for Spring football after Spring Break. This is an opportunity for potential new players to determine their interest in playing this fall.

I'm proud to announce that Joshua Brooks will be signing his scholarship today to play at Faulkner University (Montgomery, Alabama) next fall. He'll be joining Jacob Sain down there. Great to see their handwork here at RCA pay off. I look forward to many more of our athletes playing at the next level.

Thanks for all that you do and the privilege of getting to coach your boys!
