EMS 7th Grade Football Offseason Weekly Update

Hello to all, here is our information for this week. The following is information that I previously sent out regarding our upcoming events. I just wanted to make sure that everyone had a chance to view it. I have also attached our EMS Football Summer calendar of events. As soon as the MAD Day summer workout registration form is available I will send out with our weekly update and I will send it home with our athletes. It has been a great week for our players. They have learned quite a bit, and have improved with each workout! Our Spring Football for this week will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3:00 - 4:30. It will be a tremendous time as we improve as a team!

1. Throughout the summer we have many fun team based activities such as our Mad Day summer workouts, and two of our Penny Football Camps on Monday June 3rd, and on Monday June 10th. All of these events will take place at the RHS football facility. These will be a lot of fun and will be an outstanding opportunity for our players to improve their football skills, strength, speed, quickness, and conditioning.

2. The main cost involved is the MAD Day workouts, which are a very low cost of $20 total, which includes around 20 workouts. This is a fun, and effective time for our team to improve with each workout and to get ready for the upcoming season! We would like for all of our players to make it to as many workouts and events as possible! This will only make our players and team better and build great team spirit. The Mad Days brochure can be printed off and completed by visiting www.mountiesfootball. com, and then by clicking on the Special Events tab. I will also send home a paper copy of this as well. If our players can complete the brochure and send it in to Coach Hattier by the end of the school year that would be great.

3. We will also have our Spring Football Workouts from April 30th -May 9th. These workouts will be specifically designed to improve our position specific football skills for offense and defense, as as well as installing our offensive and defensive systems. It will be allot of fun and it will be a good time for us to improve as a team. For our  Spring Football Workouts or days will remain the same - Tuesday - Thursday, but the time will change to 3:00-4:30. Our apparel will remain the same except we will be wearing our helmets during these workouts. These workouts will be non contact, and we are simply wearing our helmets to get used to utilizing our head gear as we install our offensive and defensive concepts. We will supply their helmets and mouthpieces. We have been blessed to acquire some new equipment over the last couple of years and so we have everything that your athlete needs.

4. There is really nothing new that your child needs for this.  The only exception is if your child has braces and you would like a specialized mouthpiece. Academy Sports and Best Sports in Rogers would be good places pick find this at. I am also a big fan of ankle braces. This is not required of course, it is simply a good safety measure that protects the ankles in the midst of  playing with turning and adjusting their movements, etc. Academy Sports and Best Sports in Rogers are good resources for this item as well.

Thank you for your valuable time and support! I am excited about all of these events that are on the horizon!!! You can also find updated information on our Elmwood Raider Football Team page on Facebook, or by following me on Twitter at Ryanhattier.
Thank you for your valuable support!!! Go Raiders!!!!
