Schedule Updates

From Coach G...

Rocks and Parents,
I am writing to touch base and bring everyone up to speed on some upcoming events:

1. Feb. 4th – For any player interested, the team will go downtown to the Super Bowl Village. We will leave from behind Dicks in Clay Terrace at 10:30 am. There will be a free bus leaving at 11:00 am. If you are late, you may have to catch the later bus. I am not completely sure, but I expect that we will stay for 2 – 3 hours and then catch the bus back, returning to Clay Terrace around 3:30 – 4:00 pm. Everyone should bring a lunch or money to buy lunch as well as written permission for you to attend from a parent.
2. March 3rd – Our football team will compete in the Ben Davis Lifting Contest. We are allowed to take our 44, pound for pound, strongest players. We will leave from the Westfield Football Locker Room at 6:30 am. There is no cost, but players will need to bring a lunch. We will return after noon, hopefully with trophies, medals, and a great understanding of what it takes to win. If you work on Saturdays, please request this Saturday off right away. I want every Senior and Junior who can lift to be there! 
3. June 17th – 19th – We will again go to Bishop-Dullaghan for our team camp. Feel free to go ahead and send your form in for these dates. I have extra forms if you need one. The cost is still $240. We will host fundraisers for this camp eventually. Everyone goes to camp unless there is an absolutely unavoidable conflict.
4. There are basically seven weeks of summer this year before 2-a-days. My plan is to work the guys very hard during the school year and give them a little more time off this summer. We will practice Monday – Thursday, 6:00 – 8:30 am, every week except for the moratorium week. If we meet specific attendance goals for a week, I will likely give the players the following Tuesday off as well. Please schedule vacations for the week of July 1st – 7th if at all possible. The next best week is July 22nd – 28th. We will have practice throughout the other five weeks. We’ll work out any conflicts that need worked out. 

Lastly, keep coming to workouts and getting after it. We are getting much stronger and faster. I love the effort we are putting in. Remember that we will hand out equipment based on weight room attendance (not seniority), so make sure you are there!

Go Rocks!
