Dear Players and Parents,

This is a reminder of the first day of two-a-days is Monday, July 31st. Players need to arrive at 7:30am at the football stadium. Our AD will check in the players at 7:45am to make sure the proper paperwork (as outlined in the football packet) has been turned in. If a player can't practice because of lack of paperwork that is considered an unexcused absence and make up conditioning will apply as outlined in the football packet. 

Parents and Players also need to both sign then turn in the Player Information Sheet. (top sheet of the football packet) Failure to do so will also result in players not allowed to practice and will be an unexcused absence.

What to wear to practice?

 Players will need their cleats, helmets, practice jersey and athletic gear for the first three practices. I recommend players bring a change of socks and flip flops to allow their feet to air out. 

Lunch-

Players need to bring their lunch each day. Players are not allowed to leave in between practices. 

If you have questions please refer to the football packet that was handed out to each family. If you can't find the answer in the packet then please feel free to email Coach Day at brian.day@lcps.org.

This week is fall testing for those who are interested in playing football next season. 

Monday- Beanch,Hex Bar Deadlift, and Pro-Shuttle

Tuesday- Hang Cleans, RFESS Right and Left Leg and Broad Jump

Wednesday- 300 yard running test. (Varsity Players MUST make their Varsity times.)

Each day once a player is finished his testing they are free to go home.

Coach Day will meet with offensive players to finish their offensive packets on Monday after testing. These are the packets the players received at Team Camp last week.

Please contact Coach Day with any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Coach Day

Our regular season doesn't end until Nov. 4th and the program has a bye week that week for the program. We will also be adding a few sophomores to help add depth and allow them to get some game reps.
