Reminder: TEAM FOOTBALL CAMP IS THIS WEEK!!!

Reminder: the Team Football Camp is this week, Monday, July 28th-Thursday July 31st from 5:30-8pm at Schroeder.  All 9th and 10th grade players are expected to attend.  Based on the number of players at the June mini-camp, we were missing a lot of players tonight and I only heard from two that they would be absent.  This is essentially a week of practice and each night a player misses puts them further behind.

Tuesday please be in the locker room by 5:00 with your registration paperwork (on the website), your payment, and a mouth guard so I can get you shoulder pads before camp starts.

Another reminder: Next week August 4-6 (Monday-Wednesday) at Thomas is the Eastside Camp for Varsity and JV Football Players.  Again, All 9th and 10th grade players are expected to attend.  This will be 11 on 11 scrimmage situations against other teams such as Thomas, Pittsford, East, Eastridge, etc.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding these camps.  My phone number is: 330-9751

Thank you,
Mark Turner

JV 7on7 Thursdays at Thomas

Hello, I hope everyone's summer is going well.  I just found out tonight that Thomas and Eastridge will be bringing their JV teams to the 7 on 7/11 on 11 sessions at Thomas each Thursday night at 7pm.  Our Varsity players (along with some JV guys that have been coming to the weight room) participated this past Thursday and Coach Watkins informed me tonight that Thomas has invited Schroeder's JV players to participate each Thursday until practice begins the week of August 18th.

JV players that plan on participating Thursday will need to get shoulder pads either Wednesday or Thursday after lifting.  The plan is to do 11 on 11 if we have enough lineman participate, if not, we will be doing 7 on 7.  This is an excellent opportunity to get some experience running the offense and defense we will play this season and doing it against different opponents.  Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this.

Also, I wanted to remind everyone that our Team Camp runs next Monday July 28th through next Thursday July 31st from 5:30-8pm at Schroeder.  We will not go to Thomas next Thursday night.

Thank you,
Coach Turner

11 on 11 at Thomas at 7pm Thursday 7/24

We are on for 11 on 11 at Thomas tomorrow night at 7pm.  You will need to get shoulder pads after weightlifting tomorrow to participate.  If you cannot make it to weightlifting you can meet me in the locker room at Schroeder at 6:30 and I will get you shoulder pads before going to Thomas.  Please do not forget to bring a mouth guard.  My guess is we will be finished by 8:30.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Also, please do not forget that our team camp runs from next Monday 7/28 to Thursday 7/31 from 5:30-8pm at Schroeder.  All JV and Varsity players are expected to attend.

                             Pasta Party Information for the JV Team:

Organizer:  Linda Kehoe, lkehoe99@gmail.com, (585) 781-0636

Estimated Cost:  *$35-$40 per player for a total of 9 pasta dinners 

Price includes:  Pasta from Proietti’s, bottled water, bread, dessert

*This price is estimated based on the amount of players/games/dinners that the JV team had last year. My goal is to keep the cost under $5.00 per meal/per player.

Once the finalized game dates are available, I can provide the dates of the pasta parties.  More details will be provided, as well as the payment due date.

I will manage the money and the schedule as well as buy all of the plates, utensils, bottled water, bread, desserts but will need commitments from others to help with picking up the pasta from Proietti’s, set up and clean up at the school.  A sign-up sheet will be sent out soon.

If anyone has any suggestions or questions, please email Linda at:  lkehoe99@gmail.com

7 on 7 Rescheduled!

I apologize for the late notice but the 7 on 7 for tomorrow (Tuesday July 8) has been rescheduled.  Instead any JV players who are around can come Wednesday and Thursday for 7 on 7 from noon-1:00pm on the turf.  There will be an hour break from the end of lifting until 7 on 7 starts so the players are welcome to bring a sandwich or something to eat.  This is an opportunity for QB's and receivers to throw and defensive players to gain some experience with our new scheme.

Again, I apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this change may have caused.

Thank you,
Coach Turner

Summer Schedule for JV Players

Just a reminder that lifting/conditioning is every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 9-11am.  I know there were probably people out of town last week with the holiday, but we had very low numbers of JV players in the weight room.  The best way to avoid injury is to build up muscle in the summer because we know players will lose some muscle mass once practice starts in August.

Also, if you are around Tuesday July 8 from noon to 1:00pm, the JV and Varsity players are going to meet on the turf for a 7 on 7 session.  This will give QB's and receivers a chance to throw while the defense gets some experience with pass drops in our new scheme.

Camps, the Team Camp is July 28-31 from 5:30-8:00pm at Schroeder.  The Eastside Camp is August 4-6 from 5:30-8:30pm at Willink.  The JV teams are usually at Willink, I will let you know if that changes.

Finally, practice begins August 18.  We will run double sessions from 7:30am-2:30pm all ninth grade players will begin practice on this date and who is playing JV and Mod A will be determined at the end of the week.

Please let me know if you have any questions at: mark_turner@websterschools.org or 330-9751 and have a great summer!
