    Green game jerseys and shorts for Husky trip

    Hi Rookie Green:
     
      Green game jerseys and shorts for tomorrow's trip to Husky Stadium. Parents please send your kids with $10 for dinner. No pads/no helmet!!
     
    We have one more "boot camp" practice on Thursday and then it's the Eastlake Jamboree this Saturday at Skyline followed by our first regular season week. Please have the kids practice their positions at home. Tonight's offensive practice was great until the last 20- minutes. The kids lost focus... (which is understandable at the ages of 8 and 9) and things did NOT look good. If your son is an offensive lineman tell him to practice the proper 3- point stance with a good wide base. And stay LOW!!!!!! Center should practice snaps.. especially shotgun snaps at 2-3 yards. Running backs and receivers play catch and walk around holding a ball. 
     
    The kids have shown a lot of improvement over these 3- weeks. I know we're hard on them sometimes... but I hope it's coming across in a paternal manner!! Speaking for the coaches.. we've loved coaching your boys so far. I hope they're having fun and getting a lot out of it. 
     
    Coach Mike
