This message is for all 7th grade football players that you need to get your paperwork and physicals turned into Coach Hattier in his classroom 216 in order to participate in our Football Offseason. Even if you do not have your paperwork turned in you still need to attend Football Offseason. Once again even if you do not have your paperwork turned in you still need to be in attendance at Football Offseason. Our offseason will start this Tuesday. We will meet in the Football Locker Room. Our offseason will be on Tue., Wed., and Thur. from 3:15 – 4:15. You will need a pair of shorts, a t shirt, tennis shoes, cleats, and cold weather clothing. It is going to be a great time and I look forward to seeing you there!!
As mentioned before our offseason workout days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:15-4:15. We will have 3 phases of our offseason. January - February (Introduction to our Core Lifts, Conditioning, Speed Development, Quickness / Agility Development, Strength Training). March - April (We will continue with the routine for the previous months, but we will supplement our time with football skill work). April - May (We will progress with our football skill work and strength training). We will also have the opportunity to go through Spring football for one full week during the month of May. This will be a lot of fun for our players as they have their Spring Football workouts at RHS and with the RHS Coaches.
As summer approaches we will begin our MAD Day Workouts at the RHS Football Training Facility. We will also have a variety of exciting team camps throughout the summer in order to prepare for the upcoming season.
As always you can easily stay updated on all Elmwood Raider Football Happenings by visiting our Facebook Page, or by visiting our website at www.mountiesfootball.com. Probably in mid January to February I will send out a more detailed calendar of events for our Football Offseason for the months of January - May.
When the bell rings to end the school day our athletes will simply meet us in the football locker room. We ask that our athletes have tennis shoes, shorts, cleats, and also warm weather clothing available in their lockers for when it is cold. Eventually we will have our official EMS Raider Football Offseason shirts and shorts that our athletes will order. We make it a low price of $20 total for the shirt and shorts. They are high quality and they do last a long time. We will send out order forms for that at some point in January. I will say that I am a big fan of ankle braces. This is a great preventative measure for our athletes. If your child already has a set then please encourage him to wear them on a consistent basis throughout offseason. If you do not have ankle braces at this present time then Academy Sports, or Best Sports in Rogers are two great resources for this. It is not mandatory, but I definitely encourage it. They are relatively inexpensive and very beneficial when it comes to injury prevention. Other than that we provide all of the equipment that they will need, so no worries on purchasing extra equipment. We have quite a bit of equipment that we will furnish our players with at EMS.
Coach Tebbenkamp is our Assistant Coach and Offensive Coordinator. He is a great person and Coach, and I am proud that he is on our staff. He will provide tremendous instruction to your child, and you will have the opportunity to meet him throughout offseason.
When Offseason begins I will generally provide a weekly offseason update / email on what we are doing that week, and if there may be any changes due to weather, etc. I will update our parents promptly.
As always please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have. Thank you again for your valuable time and support, and I look forward to an exciting 2013 Elmwood Raider Football Season!!!!!!
Go Raiders!!!!!!
