Hello to all, we had a great third week of our MAD Day workouts!!! Each day our players improve as they work hard and remain dedicated to being their best. We are entering our off weeks, and we will resume our usual MAD Days workout routine on July 8th. We will be off until that time. This is a good opportunity for our players to rest and to spend time with their families as they enjoy the summer break. At the same time we would like for our players to keep up with their workouts in order to not lose what they have worked so hard to gain. Here is
our easy to follow at home workout routine that our players should complete 3 times per week every other day. It is simple and requires no additional equipment, just dedication and hard work. --

1. High knees
2. Tail Kicks
3. Carioca
4. 2 - 10 yard get off the lines ( Offensive Stance).
5.  2 - 10 yard get off the lines ( Defensive Stance).
6.

40yd. Run 3/4 speed
30 yd. Run 3/4 speed
20 yd. Run 3/4 speed
7.
50 yd. Run full speed
40yd. Run full speed
30 yd. Run full speed
20 yd. Run full speed
proper running form (knees up, pump arms up and down, eyes straight ahead, good stride, run on the balls of your feet/ front part, and lean forward.
8.  4 sets of 10 pushups. Do more sets if possible.
9. 4 sets of 10 Dips. Do more sets if possible.
10. 2 sets of 6 inch scissor kicks for 20 seconds for each set.
11. 2 sets of crunches for 20 seconds for each set.

***Here are a few additional highlights.
1. I want to introduce our new EMS Assistant Coach and Offensive Coordinator, Coach Jared Schoonover. He has a wealth of coaching experience and is an outstanding man of character. He is going to provide our Elmwood Raiders with a high level of quality coaching. We are very excited to have him in the Elmwood Raiders and Rogers Mounties Football Family!!!
2. You can turn in all required Physical 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 physical paperwork to this email.
3. I have previously sent out the order form for our EMS Football fan apparel from Team Graphics. We have a great looking design this year with a good 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. I have attached the order form to this email for you to use at your convenience.
4. 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.
5. 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 encourage all of our parents and players to attend. We will discuss exciting information regarding our upcoming football season!!
6. 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.

I would suggest getting there at 9:30 so that our players can get ready by putting on their helmets, shoulder pads, and practice jersey. I will have all of the shoulder pads, football helmets, and practice jerseys at the RHS Football facility ready for our players.  The cost is simply one penny. We are going to have a great time as we continue to learn the fundamentals of our football system. All that they need to do is simply meet me at the RHS Football facility and I will give them their equipment before we begin at 10:00. Other than that we will not wear our practice football pants, so our players simply need to have shorts, and also a pair of cleats as we will be on a grass surface.

***This camp is only for our 8th graders to participate in, but we definitely encourage all of our 7th graders and 6th graders to attend in order to watch and learn the fundamentals that we will be working on. This will be a great learning experience as they watch the 8th graders in action.

EMS Football - Weekly Update

Hello to all, as we approach our first MAD Day summer workout tomorrow from 8:45 – 10:15 am at the RHS Football Facility, I just wanted to send out a couple of reminders that may be helpful.
1. If you have not signed up for MAD Days yet you can still do so by simply dropping off your registration form and money with Coach Hattier at MAD Days workouts. These are very important workouts for all of pur players to attend, and they are fun as well. They help us to prepare for the upcoming season, and to become our best as a team!
2. All of our MAD Day workout dates are on the calendar that I have previously sent through email, and with a physical copy sent home with our players. This week our MAD Day workouts are on Wednesday and Thursday.
3. Please do not let financial situations get in the way. We want all of our players to be able to attend our MAD Day summer workouts, and if there is a financial concern please let me know, and I will do my best to make  sure that your child has the opportunity to participate in MAD Days. The $20.oo payment covers the entire summer of MAD Day Workouts.
4. The clothing for MAD Day workouts is black shorts, and hunter green shirt. Tennis shoes are what we will use most of the time because we will be on an artificial turf surface and in the weight room. If there is a time that we need cleats we will let our players now.
5. It is always best to be there a little early. 8:35 – 8:40 am is a good time to arrive in order to be ready to go.
6. Proper nutrition is always stressed. Please always eat a sufficient, nutritional breakfast in order to be fueled for the workout ahead. This is a key component in our workout process.
***I am looking forward to seeing you there!!!

EMS Football - Weekly Update

Hello to all, and thank you to everyone who attended our player and parent meeting on Wednesday. It was great to visit and to share all of the great things that await us for the summer and the fall. If you were unable to make the meeting here is a recap of all of the things that we covered. I have also attached all of the physical paperwork that needs to be completed before your current physical is no longer valid. Physicals are valid for one full year from the time that it is completed. I have attached a variety of other important files that I am sure you will find helpful over the summer and during the fall.

***All Physical Paperwork, MAD Day Forms, and Camp Forms can be before we leave for summer break, or they can simply turned into me at our MAD Day Workouts at the RHS Football Facility.

Our first MAD Days workouts will be on May 29^th and May 30^th from 8:45 – 10:15am at the RHS Football facility. Every MAD Day workout and football camp is on the calendar that I have attached to this email. MAD Day workout attire is shorts and a t shirt. Tennis shoes for the most part and at times cleats will be needed. We are asking that whenever you purchase cleats that they are black cleats so that we are all looking the same on the football field.

We have asked that all of our players dress alike during our workouts. For any of our athletes who did not purchase our workout shorts and shirts you can simply obtain a pair of black shorts and a hunter green shirt at Wal Mart or Academy Sports. They are relatively inexpensive. This allows us to have more team unity as we go through our summer workouts and fall workouts.

I have all of the other equipment that our players need. As I have said before the only other thing that I can think of is ankle braces. This is not required of course, but we feel that it is a good preventative measure to protect the ankles. Academy and Best Sports in Rogers are great resources for these.

Our MAD Day Workouts are very important and we definitely encourage all of our players to make each of the MAD Day workouts, and as many football camps as possible, as this only helps our players to become their very best!! In addition, they are a lot of fun!!!

Thank you for your valuable time and support!!! I will continue to update you on a weekly basis on all of the EMS Football Happenings.

I am excited about our summer events, and also about our hard working football team!! If you need any further assistance, or if you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. Go Raiders!!!!

EMS Raider Football - Weekly Update

Hello to all,

1. I just wanted to remind everyone about our 6th and 7th grade EMS player and parent meeting on Monday, May 20th. We will have it on Monday, May 20th, from 6:30 - 7:15 pm in the EMS basketball gym. We will discuss our team summer activities, and our upcoming season. This is a very important meeting, and i encourage all to make it. This will be a great time as we visit and become more acquainted with the EMS Football Program. I look forward to seeing you there!!

2. Last Friday was our last offseason workout for this school year. We will begin our 6th and 7th grade MAD Days summer workouts on Wednesday, May 29th. All of the MAD Days summer workout dates are on the calendar that I have previously sent out by email, and I have also sent a summer calendar home along with the MAD Day registration form with our players. One the MAD Days registration form you will sign up for the 8:45-10:15 am session. If you could have that back to me before we leave for summer break that would be great. Your child can simply drop it off with me. The price is only $20 for the entire summer, and if funding is an
issue please let me know as I want all of our players to be able to attend the MAD Days summer workouts. This is an outstanding opportunity for our players to use the RHS workout facilities and to get prepared for the upcoming season. These are some of the best football facilities in the state and we have a great opportunity to use them. I have also attached the MAD Dat registration form to this email. All checks can be made payable to RHS Football.

3. As we approach the summer workouts and summer camps we are asking that all of our players look the same for team unity. Most of our players have a pair of black shorts, and a hunter green shirt. If not then we simply ask that our players obtain these for our summer workouts and upcoming football season. They are relatively inexpensive at Wal Mart, or Academy Sports. Anything simple will do.

4. Lastly, as we approach the upcoming season it is important that our players have an updated physical and medical history form. I have sent these home with our players, and inmate them aware of when there physical will be out of date. The physicals are good for one full year. I also also sent a flyer home for Ozark Urgent Care which is a quick, inexpensive, and easy way to obtain a physical. All completed physicals and medical history forms can be turned in to Coach Hattier.

Thank you for your valuable time and support!!  I look forward to a fun, exciting, and productive summer!!!    Go Raiders!!!!
