EMS Weekly Football Update



Hello to all. As we enter the upcoming week of our Mad Days Summer Workouts here are some important highlights to keep in mind.

1. This week our Mad Days Summer Workouts will be during the same time frame of 8:45-10:15 am, Monday - Thursday, and at the same location the RHS Football Facility. We are having a great time!! I am continually impressed by the consistency and work ethic that our players have displayed throughout our summer workouts.! For all of our players who have not attended on a regular basis I want to strongly encourage you to attend  the last three weeks of our summer workouts as it is very important to prepare ourselves for the upcoming season.

2. We are having a very productive time with our Flex Days led by Coach Schoonover, our Offensive Coordinator which takes place before our Mad Day Workouts every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:15 - 8:45 for all Quarterbacks, Fullbacks, and Slots. This is simply time that we set aside in order to work with those positions on the various fine points of our offense. We strongly encourage all of our Quarterbacks, Fullbacks, and Slots to attend these important sessions.

3. I do want to stress the importance of turning in all required Rogers Public Schools Athletics Paperwork to Coach Hattier as soon as you complete it. Your current physical is good for one full year, and if that year is about to be up then it is a good time to renew your physical. I have attached all required paperwork to this email. We must have this paperwork turned in and on file in order for your athlete to participate in Football this season. The good news is that we have a little time to get these things turned in before our first official practice on August 5th. As soon as this paperwork is completed please turn it in to Coach Hattier. Thank you for your valuable help and cooperation with this!

4. As soon as possible please begin to turn in the order form for our EMS Football fan apparel from Team Graphics. I previously sent this form out as an attachment in my  weekly update emails. We have a great looking design this year with a variety of clothing options from a t shirt to a long sleeve shirt and a hooded sweat shirt. We also have personalized EMS Football car decals. The deadline for turning in the order forms to Coach Hattier is August 15th.

5. In the future I will be sending out invites to join our free Flickr photo website. This is free to join, and it offers a wide variety of options for our parents. There are quite a few options available on Flickr such as making a college to making a personalized calendar. We will upload our team photos to this Flickr site which can be found at www.mountiesfootball.com. Once I send out our invitation to join our Team Flickr page you will simply accept the invitation.

6. We will have a very important pre season parent and players meeting on Wednesday July 31st, from 6:30 - 7:15 pm at EMS. This will be a very important meeting and I definitely encourage all of our parents and players to attend! We will discuss exciting information regarding our upcoming football season!!

7. I have made a slight change to our August practice schedule. Our practice time for the first 2 weeks of football practice beginning on August 5th - August 16th, will be from 6:00 - 8:30 pm. When school begins on August 19th our practice time will change to 3:00 - 5:30.

8. As always please feel free to stay updated on all things related to EMS Football by visiting our EMS Football web page at www.mountiesfootball.com, by visiting our Team Facebook page, and by following me on Twitter at RyanHattier.

Thank you for your valuable time and support!!!
I look forward to an exciting and productive summer!!!
