Troy Athens Football/Dick's Sporting Goods

Parents and Players,

I just wanted to give all of you a heads regarding our partnership with Dick's Sporting Goods on the corner of Rochester Road and Avon. I spoke with the managers today with hopes to set up a day where all Troy Athens Football members could come to Dick's Sporting Goods for a discounted, one-stop shopping spree to purchase football cleats, gloves, under armor, etc, etc... The most important item I'm concerned with is the purchase of our football cleats. We want to make sure that we purchase white cleats with a red logo. I'm not concerned with any particular brand, as long as we have a unified color throughout the whole program. It would be nice if all our players had the same brand, but our young men all have different types of feet that fit more comfortably in specific brands. I would also like to add that any gloves, or other types of apparel - not purchased by the program - i.e. long sleeve under armor type shirts, be red. It gets cold during the playoff's you know ; ) The gloves can most certainly have a little white in them as well.

In the past, Dick's has offered a 10% discount to certain items purchased by a team. The gentlemen I spoke with today said they would be more than happy to arrange something like this for us in the near future. I will certainly keep you posted in regards to this one-stop, shopping event happening for our program.

Once again, thank you for your diligence and persistence with our fundraising events. I truly appreciate all of your efforts. Enjoy the rest of your week. We'll be in touch soon.

Coach Heppner
Go Red Hawks!!!
