Elmwood Raider Football - Weekly Update

This is just a quick thank you to all athletes and parents who participated in our telethon on Tuesday. It was a success, and we will be able to use these donations to help serve our kids. Thank you for all of you hard work and support!!! The next important event will be our free physical on Saturday, May 5th. that will be next Saturday from 8am - 10am. It  is absolutely free and it is required that all athletes have a current physical for 2012. Please make plans to attend this very important event.  We also sent home a sheet for our Team Flexbone / Offensive Camp on July 19-  21st. This will be a very important and fun camp for our players. Because we have to allocate and set aside money for this camp we are needing to know how many of our players will committ to attending this camp. On this flyer there is a section where you will indicate a commitment that your child will attend this camp, or if there are summer plans that you may have then indicate hat as well. We just need to know how many commitments we have in order to plan ahead. Please fill this out as soon as possible and return it with your child. We are going to have football offseason only 2 days next week. We will have football offseason on Tuesday and Thursday. We will take a couple of days next week to rest and recover from our Spring Practices. We will have a great time on Tuesday of next week as we have our end of the year football celebration for a  successful offseason. We will have a lot of good food and we will have a great time playing a variety of sports. Thank you again for your valuable support!!! Go Raiders!!!! Coach Hattier

________________________________________      Hello, this is Coach Hattier, and I just wanted to update everyone on our Football Offseason. I have included our list of events that are in the near future, and our football game schedule for next season. I also attached our shoe ordering form.      Also, I want to clarify which cleats we are choosing from. When you log on to the site there are three cleats to choose from. There are 2 pairs of solid black cleats (Alpha Speed TD for 71.00, Alpha Speed D for $74), and the more economical, but a very good cleat as well,- the white and black land shark for $34.00. Either one of those cleats would be fine.      I do want to highlight events that will be going on in April and in May.
