I hope you guys enjoyed our impromtu scrimmage.  This was our first chance to do an evaluation on the kids progress in a simulated game setting.  We really wanted to see how the kids would respond to this type of scenario.  We have some more work to do and we are still working on getting the kids more comfortable with the idea of full contact and speed of the game.  I think after a couple more weeks of practice and games we will see some dramatic changes in all of the kids.  Overall we were very excited about the progress we saw and we are looking forward to our first game on Saturday the 11th.

It is going to be hot, hot, hot.  Shorts and T-Underneath, we will strip down after some contact drills.  We will give the kids as many breaks as needed to stay hydrated and to cool down.

I will let you know when we are going to shorts and T this week.  We are trying to set up scrimmage with Hessem and Dunlap’s team.  We are not sure what day yet.  I indicated previously that we would be in shorts and T on Thursday.  That may change depending on scrimmage.

No Pads Tonight.  Same gear we have been wearing.

Practice has been going great.  The kids are responding very well.  We are further ahead after the first two practices then we were at the end of the first week last year.  We will start implementing some offense tonight and next week we will be turning up the intensity.  We will start full contact and get the kids used to hitting and being hit.  We are very excited about our group of kids.  I can’t wait to see how they do with contact and running plays.

Practice at 6-7:30pm. 

Drop off the kids at the main gate of the football field and we will be practicing on the adjacent practice field.  Kids need, Helmets, Cleats, Shorts, T-Shirt and Mouth Guard.
