    Practice Change Monday /5:00 at Skyline HS

    Hi Rookie Green:

    Monday night's practice will be held at Skyline HS. Not on the field, but in a classroom watching the tape of Saturday's game. Have the kids wear either a practice jersey or a game jersey and shorts or jeans. NO PADS, NO HELEMTS!!!

    Coach Rosemont is kind enough to set up his room with the over-head projector we need to show the kids some of the things we're doing right and wrong as a team. You can drop your kids off in the round-about right in front of the school where the basketball gym is. If you're facing Skyline HS from 228th... it's around to the left... the coaches will wait for all of the kids and then at 5pm we'll walk up as a team. This is a players and coaches only viewing... we have notes and plays we need to hurry through.. so we'd like to be able to address the kids in a timely manner.

    We'll walk the kids back down just before 7pm.

    Please e-mail me to confirm you've seen this change...

    Also, the game film is now up and ready to view. I know you all have busy lives... but take a few moments to watch with your sons if you can. It'll be very easy to see the little things they can change that will make a big difference. Speaking for the offense. You can watch one play that works for 25-30 yards and the next play that gets stopped for a loss. Often times, it's just one player.. taking that play off. Some kids are improvingly greatly at understanding their responsibilities... others are still struggling or just not interested in making enough effort every play. Last week we talked with some kids (including my own) about blocking until the whistle. Please pick out those plays with your kids and it'll make a huge difference.. plus get them ready for tomorrow's session.

    Take care... see you tomorrow at Skyline HS.
