EMS Football - Weekly Update

     Hello to all, just a quick note on this weeks practice schedule. We are going to have a short week of practice next week due to our three day weekend. In order to prepare for Oakdale and to make up for the lost practice time on Monday we will go until 6:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday. This will give us some extra time to straighten things out and to become much improved for this week's opponent. We are going to work extremely hard in order to become our best. I am proud of how our team responded today with our workout. We are coming together as a family, and we are going to turn this negative loss into a positive by fixing the areas that we need to improve upon, and continuing to stay positive as we push ourselves to reach our full potential!!

I am still very excited about our team,  and I believe in them 100%. I look forward to them displaying a much improved performance next week as we take on our rival Oakdale! 

      One last thing to mention is that we have our first Jamboree at Bentonville HS Stadium next week (Saturday September 8th) for our White Team. This is going to be an exciting event as we will play a variety of teams and our players will enjoy a lot of playing time. This is going to be a great time! On Saturday, September 8th we will meet at Elmwood MS at 8am and board our bus and make our way to Bentonville HS Stadium. I will be sending a schedule of the Jamboree home with the players. 

Thank you for your valuable time and support!!!

Go Raiders!!!

Elmwood Raider Football Weekly Update

Hello to all,  our first official game week is here and our focus and attention is on Kirksey. I am excited about seeing our players rise to the occasion, and meet this challenge. Our players have the hearts of champions and I know that they will shine through! Here are a few things for this week that I wanted to mention.

1. Gameday is on Thursday at RHS at 5:30. We will have a second game after the first game where our White Team players will have a great opportunity to get more playing time vs. Kirksey. We have 6 second games scheduled throuout the season.  As I have said before we are all on the Green Team and we will participate in the Green Team game at various parts of the game. The only difference between a White Team player is that he also participates in the White Team games and they are going to have a great time as they will have extra opportunities to get more playing time theoughout the season.

2. We are going to have our pre game meal at 3:30 during every game day. We are only asking for $5.00 per meal and we ask that we have that money by Wednesday, and earlier if possible. Your athlete can turn that in to Coach Hattier, or Coach Tebbenkamp. 

3. I have submitted the apparel orders for our Elmwood Raider Football Gear and they should be on shortly. As soon as those items arrive I will email everybody.

4. We are taking our Team Pictures on Tuesday and we have given our players the order form for our Team Pictures. We have only a couple of these turned in so far, so please remember to turn those in with the money attached by Wednesday, or earlier if possible. They will take their team picture in their white game jersey and game pants? Please tell your athlete to bring their game pants to school on Monday so hat they can keep their game pants in their football locker and have them ready for the team picture. We have issued out our game pants for he season n your athlete is responsible to take care of heir game pants throughout he season by washing them after each game and of course not losing them. If they lose their game pants they are costly to replace so we ask that you simply help your athlete take care of them.

5. Thank you to Mr. Necessary, and to Mrs. Phelps for providing us with some great pictures of our Green vs. White Scrimmage. I am going to upload those to our Team Flickr site, and all will have access to these throughout the season in order to make prints, etc. All parents will have access to this account for no cost if they simply reply to the invite email. I will be sending this invite email very shortly. You can view all of our pictures by visiting www.mountiesfootball.com, and by clicking on multimedia, and then Photo sets. Elmwood has several sets of pictures for you to view, and if you log on using the invite log on information you will be able to access them. 

6. One last thing, we are looking for a video camera person for this Thursdy to film our game. Our regular video camera person will be back next week, we simply need this week covered for video taping our game. If anybody is interested please contact me. I can fill you in on all of the specifics, it is actually a simple job. This will be a big help or this week.

7. It is going to be an exciting week, and I am ready to see our players shine on the football field!! We look,forward to,seeing a lot of green shirts as we support our Elmwood Raiders on Thursday!!

Thank you for all of your time and support!! 

8. Here is our revised White Game Schedule for the Saturday Jamboree Games. The only changes that have been made are for the following games are 

(9/22 RHHS Gates Stadium, 9/29 RHS Stadium, 10/27 RHHS GatesStadium)

EMS Football - Weekly Information!!!

Hello to all, and Saturday is almost here. Our Annual Green vs. White Scrimmage on Saturday from 6:00 - 7:30 pm at RHS Stadium is going to be the most exciting event in Benton County!! We will not take the bus to the stadium, so parents will take their athletes to RHS Stadium. Please have them their by 5:45 so that we can complete our warm up and stretch routine.

We will be wearing our complete game uniform, and looking sharp as we compete against one another. Half of the team will be in green jerseys and half will be in white jerseys. Another special thing is that our helmet decals will be on our helmets for the first time. We will have a wonderful time as we announce our players and showcase what we have learned thus far! We have been working very hard and all of the hard work that we have put in will be displayed on Saturday. The cheerleaders will also be there to cheer us on.

We will have a cool game program that we will pass out as well that will list the athletes names and numbers, etc. I promise to do my best on the correct spelling of each name for the program.

1. There is practice this Friday from 6:00 - 8:30 pm. Once again there is practice this Friday from 6:00 - 8:30 pm. It is important that all of our players are there for practice! We will sharpen our skills for our Green vs. White Scrimmage on Saturday, and we will also pass out our official game uniforms and equipment. Our players will take all of this home and suit up at home before they arrive at RHS Stadium on Saturday. They will also take home their practice cloth in order to wash them over the weekend. They will bring their practice clothing back to school on Monday for practice.  

2. Our practice schedule for when school begins next week is 3:15 - 5:30. 

We definitely stress the importance of our players being at practice every day in order to work as one team and to strive to be our very best! 

3. A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Carr, and Mrs. Hatch.

Mrs. Hatch provided our locker room with some awesome lettering for inspirational quotes. It looks great!! Mrs. Carr provided our game socks for last year, and has chosen to help us out again this year. We will all wear the same game socks, and this year's socks looks awesome! 

One more big thank you!!!!!!

4. The due date for turning in our 316 Sports Apparel from was Aug. 15th. I have turned those in and the apparel should arrive in a week or so.

As soon as it does I will notify you. 

The due date for turning in our Team Graphics Apparel form is Aug. 23rd.

Weekly Information

Hello to all, and what a great time we had at the First Annual Father Son Super Bowl. It was a valiant effort on both sides, but in the end the Men ruled as they took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as the overall trophy. 

We really need some of the fathers to go back to the 8th grade for one more year of eligibility. It would help us out and definitely give us an edge. Just kidding. I was impressed with the efforts of all who participated last night!

Thank you to all who brought food and drinks!!! It was an awesome ten out. The food was outstanding, and the fellowship was great!!! It was awesome to see everyone come together and cheer our fathers and sons on!!!

Here is a list of updates for this week. ---------

1. This weeks practice schedule is from 9:00 - 11:30 am. Monday through Friday. Once again this weeks practice schedule is from 9:00 - 11:30 am. Monday through Friday. It is very important that our players commit to our season as we prepapre to be our very best! We will be in helmets, shoulder pads, and shorts on Monday through Wednesday,  and then Thursday will be our first day of full pads.

We will have plenty of food and water in the locker room to keep our players refreshed and energized throughout practice. We will have plenty of accessible water  on the field as well, and anytime that a player needs water they will simply go and get some water. Ankle braces are always a good thing to wear as they are a great preventative measure. We do have put ices arriving shortly and we will have enough for all of our players, but if your child does not currently have one they are available at Wal Mart for a couple of dollars. We will need them probably by Thursday as that is the first day we will be in full pads. 

2. An exciting event that is on the horizon is our Elmwood Raider Football Introduction Night at RHS Stadium on Saturday, August 18th, from 6:00 - 7:30 pm.  We will have a great time as we introduce each player to our parents and fans, and play a scrimmage to showcase our progress. It is sure to be a lot of fun, and a great experience for our players!!!

3. Our team pictures will be on August 28th, after school.  I  included an order form in the packets that you received at our parent and player meeting last Friday. If you were unable to attend the parent  and player meeting then no problem, we will send a packet home with your child this week. this packet has our schedule, player guidelines, and order forms for team pictures and also team apparel. Please fill them out and turn them in asap.

4. We are using Team Graphics for our t shirts, long sleeve shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and decals. The deadline for ordering from Team Graphics is August 23rd. I am trying to get these items in for our parents and fans prior to our first game. So the earlier the deadline the quicker they will arrive. 

5. We are using 316 Sports for our yard signs, hats, and decals. The dead

One for ordering from 316 Sports will be August 15th.  Using 316 Sports is a great option for us because it allows us to offer other items such as yard signs to our parents as well. The yard signs are front and back.

6. Now on to the paperwork. This is not the most exciting part of what we do throughout the season, but it is very important. We must have all required paperwork turned in for the season. We have a list of athletes who have all of their paperwork completed and turned in,  and if for some reason your child needs to have something turned in we will remind them this week. Please turn them in asap. The 3 pieces of paperwork that we must have turned in are ---

- Completed Physical with Medical History Form

- District Rules Acknowledgement Form

- Concussion Form

7. Lastly, I forgot to bring my camera to the Father Son Super Bowl on Saturday, so if anybody has any pictures at all that they took can you please email them to me. I will upload them to our Team Flickr page. 

8. I will be sending an invite to all parents join our Team Flickr page for free in a few days. This is a great tool for parents to utilize throughout the season, and to create pictures, collages, post cards, etc. using your child's pictures. 

****Thank you again for all of your support and valuable time!!!!

This is going to be a special season, and we have an incredible group of young men!!! I am excited about the 2012 Elmwood Raider Football Season!!!

Thank you all again for all that you do to make Elmwood Raider Football so special!!!!
