EMS Football Weekly Update

Hello to all, it has been a tremendous time of offseason for this school year! Our players have grown in their strength, quickness, agility, and level of maturity. They are a wonderful group of young men and I feel privileged and blessed to be able to coach them. I know that exciting things await us this summer and in our upcoming season!
I know a simple truth and that is you reap what you sow. I know that our players will sow hard work and dedication this summer so that we can reap the benefits of future success.
We have several opportunities to prepare as a team for the upcoming season and to develop our abilities in order to play our best football when our season arrives. Here are a couple of important notes as we move forward.

1. -We will have our EMS /KMS Football Camp that will be held at Kirksey from 6:00-8:30 pm on June 17-19 for EMS and KMS Football Players. It will be facilitated by Myself, as well as Brian Anderson the Head Coach at Kirksey. This will be a great opportunity to sharpen our football skills as we head into the upcoming season. It is open to all 6th -8th graders, and even younger kids if you have any younger children who would like to participate. It is going to be a lot of fun and the cost is very minimal. All camp participants will receive a cool camp t shirt. You can sign up by visiting Rogers Activity Center or by simply visiting their website and signing up by using their online sign up process.

****I have attached a list of files that are essential as we move forward this summer and for the upcoming season. Please look them over as they are very helpful and informative. I have attached 3 forms that need to be turned in
asap if you have not already done so. (our updated medical history form, our Rogers Public Schools Code of Conduct Acknowledgement Form, and an updated physical if needed. The physicals are good for one whole year. So if you know that it is getting close to the time when you need to get a new physical please do so. I have attached a list of easy to find clinics that provide physicals for a low price of $25. They are easy to schedule. You can give all of these forms to Coach Hattier.

Thank you for your valuable time and support! Have a great summer, and I look forward to seeing our players at our Rogers Activity Center EMS / KMS Football Camp on June 17-19, and of course at our MAD Day Workouts at RHS beginning on July 7th.
