A note from Coach Bornn – March 2010 Newsletter
Hello,
As each day passes, we get closer to Spring Football Practice. Along with lifting weights and running, your sons are being introduced to the basics of football. Each Tuesday and Thursday from 315 to 400pm we are practicing football skills after school. These sessions are open to all players (9th, 10, and 11th graders). On Wednesday mornings from 645am to 730am, we are practicing with the skill players but again, this is open to all players. We HIGHLY encourage the players to come out and learn the basics of what we will be doing in more detail come Spring Practice. Here a couple of important notes for the next few months:
1. This Friday, March 19, marks the 10 week grade report. You should receive your childs report card by the end of next week. It is imperative that we continue to work with our young men academically and ensure that they are staying on top of their grades. As per the last few weeks, any student-athlete in my 7th period class that has below a 2.0 or has a D or F in a class, will have to continue to attend our 7am study hall clas on M-T-Th-F. Please know that due to budgetary cuts, we will only be offering ONE SUMMER SCHOOL class this summer. That means that if your child fails two classes, he can only make one up which may affect his eligibility for playing in the fall.
2. Next Thursday, March 25, will be a minimum day so my 7th period students will be done earlier than normal that day.
3. Open House will be Wednesday, March 31. This is designed for all incoming 8th graders to see what our school has to offer as well as for you to visit your son’s teachers. Please plan on attending and showingy our support. Also, if you know of 8th graders who will be coming here and playing football, get them to come up to our booth that we have set up. We will also be selling spirit wear for the season!
4. Our next Parent Meeting will be Thursday, April 1 at 730pm in the gym. Please plan on attending.
5. Our Spring Football Practice will begin on Monday, May 10 at 215pm and end by 600pm. We will practice Mon through Thurs. No practice on Fridays. This will go through the month of May. This year, as was the case last year, if your son does NOT have a 2.0 overall GPA, he will not be allowed to participate in Spring Practice.
6. Our Summer Practice will begin on Monday, June 7. Times will be TBA for both lifting and practice.
7. Our summer DEAD PERIOD will be July 17 through August 6. PLEASE PLAN ALL FAMILY VACATIONS FOR THAT TIME.
Grades, 2.0 Practice
Thanks, God Bless, and Go Centurions!!!
