Elmwood Raider Football - Weekly Update

      We had a great time for our first week of MAD Days Workouts! Our players are working hard and improving each day. Next we will have an awesome time attending our Middle School Football Camp on Wednesday - May 30th, and Thursday - May 31st from 10:30 - 12:30 at the RHS Practice Fields. This is going to be a great time for our players!  If you haven't already signed up you can do so by simply filling out the Mad Days sign up form if you have it, or by printing a copy by visiting www.mountiesfootball.com (Camps Section). You can also get there by simply clicking on this link -  http://www.mountiesfootball.com/files/MSCampBrochure12.pdf The only equipment needed for this camp will be their black practice shorts, their green practice shirt, a pair of cleats, and a pair of tennis shoes / athletic shoes. Our players will receive an RHS Camp T shirt as well.  Next week our only work out days are Wednesday and Thursday for the Middle School Football Camp. If your child would also like to attend the MAD Days Workouts on those days that is optional. It will just make for a longer day  that would be from 8:45 - 10:15 for the MAD Days workout and then from 10:30 - 12:30 for the Middle School Football Camp. I definitely would like for our guys to attend the Middle School Football Camp, so if they simply want to attend the Football Camp from 10:30 -12:30, instead of doing both then that is certainly ok.  The  cost is $20 for the Middle School Football Camp. If for some reason funding is not available please let me know and I will take care of it. I simply want all of our players to be able to attend everything that we have going on this summer, and I don't want any player left out.  I had a couple of parents ask for the list of our summer events. Below I have placed this information along with our easy to follow  instructions for each event. As always you can stay updated on all Elmwood Raider Football information by visiting our web page at www.mountiesfootball.com, by visiting our Elmwood Raider Football Facebook Page, or by following me on Twitter at Ryan Hattier.

Elmwood Football Team Penny Camp – (Time is TBD – Probably 10:30 – 12:30  at the RHS Football Field House)  ****Cost is 1 penny, No need to sign up, you will simply attend this camp.**** -June 7th 4.    For or our 7 on 7 games -  we will play 2 tournaments at Springdale Southwest Junior High School on (July 9th, and July 23rd), and 1 tournament at Springdale Har-Ber High School on (July 16th).  The details are in the 7 on 7 attachment. Games will start at 8:00 am and end at 11:30. It is going to be a great time for our kids! We will try to beat the heat by having it early in the morning. On the mornings of our 7 on 7 tournaments we will meet at the front parking lot of Elmwood and travel to Springdale by school bus. We will meet at 7:00 am in order to be on time for our first game at 8:00. Previously I thought that we may have to car pool, but I was able to secure a bus for each of those dates. We might grab some lunch at Mad pizza on the way back so we will arrive back at Elmwood at around 12:30. We will be attending the tournament with Kirksey, and they will be taking the bus with us. It should be a lot of fun to meet up with the Kirksey players. For the first tournament we might need just a couple of parent volunteers to stay back with us just in case we are too crowded on the bus and we need to car pool a couple of players. I don’t think that this will be the case because I am going to try to secure a larger bus, but maybe for the first tournament we will plan on doing so. 5.
