The football team would like to invite you out this Saturday to our 2nd annual MS/HS Community Practice.
This is a joint middle school and high school practice. We encourage all family members and members of the community to come participate in practice with us. We will lead you through our warm up, individual position drills and plays that your boys do on a daily basis. This is a great way to see first hand how hard your boys have been working. As well as get to know some of the coaches and the other boys on the team.
Immediately after the Community Practice we will go inside to the auditorium to hold our middle school and high school football parent meeting.
Cost: This practice is 100% Free for anyone to attend
Time: Practice starts at 4:20pm and goes to about 5:20pm.
(Parent Meeting to follow Immediately after practice.)
