My grill should set us up good, but if anyone wants to bring their own grill that is totally fine as well? A suggestion may be to bring a lawn chair. Along with this exciting event you will be able to see the awesome new training equipment that we have available for our players to use this season, our newly stocked weight room, last year's championship trophy, our championship banner that is hanging in the gym, and our super cool poster sized showcase pictures from last season that are now hanging up in the locker room that you can now view. This year's team will also have their poster sized moments of victory showcased for next season in the locker room. There will be lots of good food, and great, friendly competition as the men show the boys how the game of football is supposed to be played. Jusk kidding, the younger generation might just show us how to play. Fathers, uncles, grandfathers, older brothers are all welcomed. This will work out great because we have our parent and player meeting on Friday, August 3rd from 6:00 - 7:00 pm, so we can build up a little bit of hype for the Father Son Super Bowl Game and Cook Out festivities on Saturday, August 4th. ****Here is a list of items that people are bringing thus far........ 1. - I will bring a grill, some plates, and eating utensils. 2. potato& macaroni salad for cookout 3.,Cupcakes 4. Burgers or dogs 5. bags of chips, bags of cookies 6. Plates and eating utensils 7. dessert pizza Also, here is the updated list of jersey numbers for our players.

The team pictures are scheduled for August 14th, but I am tring to move them back to a later date for when after school begins in order to have all of our players included in the team picture.
