Juniors 2010

[coachjay]

Hello,

I am Coach Jay. I have the privilege of leading the Junior team for the 2010 season. I will be contacting each player via email as soon as I receive your contact information from the league. In the meantime, I wanted to provide some information.

Our first Practice will be at 6:00 Tuesday, July 6th. During the summer, practice will be 6:00 to 7:45. We will practice Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday until school begins. We will modify the schedule once school starts.

We have a Jamboree scheduled for August 7th and the first game will be August 14th. The season will run to November 13th. Please do not plan any vacations or weekend trips from July 6th through November 13th. We need your son's attention and participation for this timeframe.

Juniors is a 12 and 13 year old team (age as of August 1, 2010). If your son is 12 years old (age as of August 1, 2010) and weighs less than 100 pounds, then he can play in the Bantam division. Everybody else regardless of weight will play in the Junior division.

We have a lot to do to get ready for the season. Practice will be intense and attendance will effect playing time. It is hot during summer practice. Please prepare your sons accordingly.

Every player is responsible for their own water. We will give water breaks so be sure to bring a cooler or water bottles. Your so will be responsible for keeping up with their own water. Parents will be separated from their sons and the water during practice.

We will have a Juniors' parent meeting July 6th at 7:00 at the practice field. Please plan to attend.

That is it for the basic information. I look forward to a fun and rewarding season. Our desire is to create an environment of teamwork and teach these young men to love the game of football!!

Go LIGHTNING!!!!

Coach Jay
