Great to see everyone at the brunch yesterday.  It was a great way to cap off a successful first week!

Here are a few slight changes and reminders on the schedule for next week. 

Monday 8/19  - Varsity Double Session. Morning practice/meetings - 7:15-11:30.  Evening practice/meetings - 5:30-8:30.  We extended the evening session by 30 minutes to allow Hillarie and Michael Scannelli of !mpact Training to give the players a valuable educational talk on nutrition and make the players smoothies.  Freshmen will still have practice from 8-11.

Wednesday 8/21 - Varsity Scrimmage at Montgomery - 10:00. Bus leaves at 8:30.

Saturday 8/24 - Varsity and Freshmen Scrimmage at Union - 6:00.  Bus leaves at 4:00. Note that the freshmen will be scrimmaging. It was previously listed as TBA. 

Monday 8/26 - Family Fun Night - 5:30 at the High School for all levels. 

Here are a few reminders as we officially start off the season tomorrow. 

• Equipment Pickup - Varsity reports at 8:00, Freshmen at 9:00. Mike Fraunheim from Riddell will be there to assist with fitting all helmets and to deliver and answer questions about personal helmets. The locker room will be available to store equipment.  It is a good idea to bring in a personal lock to secure valuables. 
• Team Pictures at 11:00 - Varsity and Freshmen
• Varsity Meetings and Practice from 12:00 - 5:00. It would be a good idea to pack a lunch, as there may not be time to go out and get anything on this long day. 
• Many players have not yet registered on Family ID.  Until you do so, your name will not show up on the eligibility report, so we cannot see if you are missing anything else. Info for Family ID is the on the website. When you have done it successfully, you will get a confirmation that you have signed up for football. 
• Also, all freshmen, juniors and new players have to take the Impact Test for our concussion protocol if you have not already done so. Instructions are on the website.

See you all tomorrow! I can't wait to get started!
