Hi Parents,

How can it be that we are less than 4 weeks away from the start of practice?!  Here are the details for the next few weeks:

1/. Skills & Conditioning Sessions will continue until August 4th on Saturday mornings. This continues to be a great way for the boys to work on their skills and become accustom to the summer heat.  Friends are always welcome and encouraged.

2/. Strength Training will continue until August 2nd on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

3/. Dick’s Appreciation Day will be July 21st at the Chesterfield Towne Center location.  Details and the 20% coupon are on the website.  You will need to provide shoulder pads, cleats, practice pants (black preferred), and a mouthpiece (get 2) for the season.  With the 20% coupon, you can buy Schutt / Riddell shoulder pads for around $45.  If we have more than 10 people interested in Xenith shoulder pads, we can get a group rate of $75.  Let me know if you are interested in Xenith and I will open the store.  The coupon is also a great way to get a jump start on your school shopping as it is good for almost everything in the store.

4/. Equipment handout will be held on Saturday, August 4th starting at 11am. 

In order to pick up equipment:

1)      The registration fee must be paid in full.

2)      Bring your child’s DMV ID.  If you don’t have one, the application is on the website. It will take 10-14 days to receive the ID after you apply at the DMV. We will accept the receipt from the DMV up to August 18th until you receive the ID in the mail. We will keep the ID for the duration of the season.

3)      Bring a deposit check of $100 for the equipment rental. We do NOT cash the check. We will return the check after the equipment is returned.

If you do not make this equipment handout date, you will only be able to pickup equipment before or after practice, as time allows.

5/. Preseason practices will be held from 6:15pm-8:15pm starting August 6th.  Check the website for the equipment to wear the first week.  All football players must complete 6 days of practices following the heat acclimation chart on the website.  The calendar for practice days is listed on the website.

6/. August 25th is our League’s Jamboree. More info will be sent about this later.  Please mark this day on your calendar.

7/. Our Seniors Division is currently on a waitlist.  The Sophomores and Freshmen still have roster spots available.  Please get the word out on our program. We have great coaches, facilities, equipment, and competition!

8/. Lastly, we are in the final planning stages for a Cheerleading program!  We will send the details on this in a separate email very soon.  Let us know if you have any interested cheerleaders as we work to finalize our plans.

Thanks for being a part of Cherokee!

Go Titans!
