Football Update

Hello all,

I know with Spring in full gear, you've got a lot going on and I don't want to add too much to that but I do want to keep you informed. For some of you, this may be your first update and we are glad to have you on board.

We have one of our biggest fundraisers of the year coming up on Saturday May 2nd in our flag football tournament. We need people to help with painting the field that week, working concessions, referees, score keepers, time keepers, photographer, and first aid workers. We have 8 churches coming to participate and we need all the help we can get to accommodate. I'll be sending out a schedule so you can sign-up for a time spot best for you or you can just reply to this email. We also have t-shirts for sale (attached picture) for $10 through April 16th if you want to order one just reply with your shirt size(s).

Also on April 16th we will have a Football Informational Meeting at the school. We will meet for Jr. Pro info at 5:30. I believe Varsity baseball has a game that day is scheduled to end at 6:30 so we will try to meet for Middle and High School football then. 

Jr. Pro Football sign-ups will begin on May 1st this year. It will continue through the 29th or until we get 25. I have also attached the flyer that will go out today sometime to grades 2nd-4th today, please share this info with anyone who might be interested. This program gives us a great advantage in many areas so I'm very thankful for all who got it back going last year!

Also along these lines, we will be hosting a Football Summer Camp on June 29-July 2nd. This camp is for kids through the 8th grade. It will cost $60 which includes a shirt and refreshments. There is also a $10 discount for each additional child. 

Spring Practice will kickoff on May 4-8 for Middle School and May 11-16 for Varsity. Practice will be from 3-5:30, Monday through Friday. We hope to have our 2nd Spring Game for Varsity on the evening of May 16th. Spring practice is an opportunity for students to try out football before committing for the Fall. It is however required for any current students to play in the Fall. So even if they are not sure it is wise for them come out for the week. If there is a conflict, please contact me so we can work something out. I've included the rosters for each team so far.
