Elmwood Raider Football - Weekly Update

   Hello to all, I hope that your summer is going great! This is just a quick note on upcoming events. I have also included a checklist of the 7 on 7 rules below. Please share this 7 on 7 rules checklist with your athlete so that he is informed on the format that we will have for our 7 on 7 games. Please also remind your athlete that we will wear our workout uniform of our black shorts, and green shirt. They will need to bring cleats as well. If your athlete does have ankle braces please remind him to wear them during our camps, practices, and 7 on 7 games. This is a great preventative measure to avoid injury to the ankles. If you would like to purchase ankle braces Academy Sports, and Best Sports have a good selection. For all who can make it we will have a short 7 on 7 practice on Sunday, July 8th at Elmwood Middle School from 3:00 - 4:00. This will be a quick tune up practice to get ready for our 7 on 7 tournament on Monday, July 9th.    We will start back on Monday, July 9th with our first 7 on 7 competition at Southwest Junior High School in Springdale. We will have a great time competing against other teams in the area!!  I have attached the schedule for all of our 7 on 7 competitions. The games start early at 8am in order to beat the heat. We will leave by bus at the front parking lot of Elmwood MS. We will meet at 7:00 am front parking lot of Elmwood MS and  travel to Southwest Junior High School. We will be done by 11:30, and travel back to Elmwood MS. On our way back we will make a stop at Mad Pizza for lunch. The price for a buffet and drink will be $7.00. If for some reason funding is an issue just let me know and I will take care of it. We should arrive back at Elmwood MS at around 1:00 - 1:30.           We encourage all of our offensive linemen who are not involved in 7 on 7 to attend this event with us. I certainly want to have our offensive linemen to be a part of this event, so those athletes can take the bus with us and cheer us on. Below you will find our 7 on 7 game schedule, and other important dates on the horizon. It is going to be a lot of fun as we represent our school and display all of the hard work that we have done throughout offseason and our summer workouts !!!        As always we definitely encourage all of our athletes to attend our MAD Day Workouts.

     We are excited about our Team Penny Camp on Thursday at RHS! The time has changed to a shorter time frame. We will just go from 9:00 - 10:30am. The cost is only one penny. It is going to be a lot of fun and we will combine Kirksey and Elmwood. We will be wearing shoulder pads, helmets, shorts, and cleats. For the shoulder pads and helmet we will ask that if the parents are able to do so that after our Mad Day workout tomorrow / Wednesday that they swing by Elmwood briefly and pick up their helmet and shoulder pads. We will have coaches at the Elmwood locker room to check out their equipment. They will take the equipment home and then bring their shoulder pads and helmet to our Team Penny Camp on Thursday.      If parents are unable to come by Elmwood to pick up the equipment on Wednesday then no problem, we will have the equipment at RHS on Thursday morning for them. We just ask that they arrive at RHS a little earlier at around 8:30 in order to pick up their equipment.     Thank you for your time and help! Your student athletes are working very hard and having a lot of fun! I am very proud of all that they done this summer! Have a great day! Coach Hattier
