Pre-season Information

From the desk of the Head Coach, a letter to players and parents...

Dear Rocks and Parents:

We have much to be excited about for next season. We have awesome kids and we are expecting to have a great team. We have made tremendous gains in the weight room and we continue to serve our community. Next year we will dress in a new locker room and play in a new Sectional. Simply put, we can‘t wait!

Our mission is to make playing football for Westfield one of the most incredible experiences of your life. The goals of our program will guide the way: 1) Family 2) Commitment to Excellence 3) Victory with Honor 4) Fun 5) Make A Difference. I am thrilled that you will be a part of helping us to achieve our goals. There are several dates and events that you should be aware of:

1) Parents Meeting – (April 17th) – I will host a meeting for parents of upcoming Sophomores - Seniors on Wednesday, April 17th in the High School cafeteria from 7 – 8:30 pm. At the meeting we will discuss next year, schedules, and our program’s demands.

2) Equipment Distribution (May 23rd) – Equipment will be handed out Thursday, May 23rd immediately after school at the varsity locker room. If a player has a conflict, he can come to get his equipment on Friday morning at 6 am.

3) Summer Football (June 10th – July 30th) – We will lift, do speed development, and practice every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:30 – 9 am at the high school weight room. There are 18 workout dates/practices. We expect players to attend at least 15 of the 18. The best week for vacations is always the 4th of July week (moratorium). The second best week for vacation is always the last week before 2-a-days (Starting July 28th).

4) Bishop-Dullaghan Team Camp (June 16th – 18th, Anderson University) – Our entire team should attend team camp. You can register on-line at www.bishopdullaghan.com. Cost is $245. Deposit is due on May 15th. Please contact me with questions. Fundraisers are available.

5) 2-a-days (August 5th) – Our fall camp will begin the afternoon of August 5th. I will communicate more info about the times closer to the date during summer practice. The first day we report at 1pm and spend the night at a camp site. From then on practice will run from 3 – 9 pm and we will feed everyone between practices.

Please contact me directly if you have any questions whatsoever. Get ready for some outstanding football! Go Rocks!!!

- Coach Gilbert
