Schedule for August 2nd - 6th

Parents and Players,

It's hard to believe that we are approaching the last week before the start of the 2010 football season. I'm more than ready to see how all of the hard work these young men have put into this off-season will pay off. Here is the schedule for next week, Monday, August 2nd through Friday the 6th:

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday = 3rd and Final Testing Phase.

Seniors = 9:00 - 9:45
Juniors = 9:45 - 10:30
Sophomores = 10:30 - 11:15
Freshman = 11:15 - 12:00

Please make sure that all of the young men report at the appropriate testing times. Thursday will be our official sign-up day. I have changed the times from the original schedule you received this spring. Each class will report at the following times to receive all of their equipment:

Seniors = 9:00 - 9:45
Juniors = 9:45 - 10:30
Sophomores = 10:30 - 11:15
Freshman = 11:15 - 12:00

Please have your players bring a combination lock with them on Thursday. We will be assigning each player a locker; therefore it is extremely important that each player have a lock in order to safely keep their equipment secure. I will also need a copy of each players physical form turned in to me on Thursday as well. Any player who does not have their physical by the start of 2-A-Days on August 9th will be ineligible to participate. The seniors will be having their senior conditioning practice on Thursday also. This is a tradition held by the seniors each year before the start of 2-A-Days, and has become a great method of team building. All grade levels will participate. Each of the summer captains will relay the place and time for the conditioning session. I will meet with the Seniors for "Dinner with Coach Heppner" at Buffalo Wild Wings at 6:30 on Thursday as well.

All parents will be receiving the rules and in-season expectations at the family BBQ on Friday, August 6th. The BBQ will begin at 6:30 pm in the football stadium. If you have not signed up for a designated dish to pass at the BBQ, please do so by next week and I will forward that information to Patti Aurand. Any player unable to pick up their equipment on Thursday, August 5th must report to my office no later than 11:00 am Monday, August 9th.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email.

Go Red Hawks!!

Coach Heppner
