All students entering the sixth, seventh and eighth grades that are interested in playing football during the 2009 fall season are invited to attend St. Michael School summer football practices. These practices will begin Monday, August 3rd and continue through Friday, August 14th. Practice times are as follows:
August 3-7: 8:00 am - 10:30 am
August 10-14: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
We understand that some families may be on vacation or students may be at camp during this time, therefore, these practices are optional. Students, when available, may attend these practices. Once the school year begins on Monday, August 17, mandatory practices will be held after school. These practices will be held from 6:00pm to 7:30pm.
The students will need to provide their own football cleats and football girdles. These may be purchased at Barcelona Sporting Goods (located south of I-10 between Gessner and Beltway 8), Sports’ Authority or Academy. The school will provide football pants to each player, so purchase of these elsewhere is optional. Water will be provided at every practice; however, students may bring their own water bottles, Gatorade, etc.
We hope to see everyone who is interested in playing football at these practices. This will give the students an opportunity for more time to learn the offense, defense and fundamentals of the game. It will also give the new sixth graders an opportunity to bond with the returning players and coaching staff.
