Make sure your FB athletes are drinking an abundance of water over the weekend. Monday & Tuesday practices must take place during the heat of the day. We give numerous 5-minute water breaks and will have buckets of water with towels to drench themselves during breaks if needed.
I attached the parent/player meeting document we went over on Thursday for your own reference. If you were unable to attend, please read it.
If your JH player was unable to get equipment this past week, communicate with your home school's coach to get equipment.
The SDHSAA requires 2 days of just helmets and 2 days of helmets and shoulder pads to start the season. Also, it does not allow for 3 consecutive days of full pads. That is the reasoning for the 2 to 1 ratio of full pads to half pads.
Football practice schedule for the week.
Tuesday: 3:15-6:15 PM (Woonsocket Teacher In-Service) Full Pads
Wednesday: 6:30-9:30 AM Full Pads
Thursday: 6:30-9:30 AM Helmets & Shoulder Pads
Friday: 6:30-9:30 AM Full Pads
No weekend practices
