Parent feedback / vote please

Sorry to bury you in e-mails...  When I clicked our calendar for September on our "Rookie Green" blog... I looked at the first week and what I didn't realize is... that was actually the last week of August...
 
 The first week of September only shows practice Monday, Wednesday and Thursday... So.. looking for parent feedback... this will be a Football Democracy. Question is: are you ok with a scrimmage down in Issaquah next Tuesday night at 5pm?? If Tuesday doesn't work... or the location (Issy Middle School) makes it too difficult for you to ride/carpool... then I'll take it off the table and just hold normally scheduled practices next week on Mon, Wed and Thurs. If you're ok with the scrimmage.. then we'd do Monday, Tuesday (scrimmage) and Thursday.
 
Please send me a private e-mail only if you DO NOT want the Tuesday scrimmage... If more than a few folks can not do it... we'll scrap it and just practice. I thought playing Issaquah White might be a good tune-up for our game that week against the toughest team in our division (Mt. Si Red).... but these kids are 8 and 9 and we parents have a lot to juggle.. so just level with me and I'll let you know what the final call is.
 
Thanks again..

Tuesday the 31st Practice

Hi Rookie Green Parents:

  The weather is turning!! Tonight could be a bit rainy and windy. As you know.. football is like no other sport. We will play games in the rain, so we have to practice in the rain. We don't expect you parents to stay... but make sure the kids have a layer under their uniforms... like Under Armour...

  See you tonight at 4:45 or so... two more practices to get ready for Inglemoor!!

Coach Mike

Monday 4:45pm / Rookie Green Practice

Hi Rookie Green:
 
Saturday was a great learning experience. The last Eastlake team we played (Eastlake Black) is one of the best teams on the Eastside.  They have only 14 players... so their most talented 8- kids play both offense and defense. We did some things well and made a lot of mistakes too, but that's what practice games are all about. You'll see quite many of the adjustments we'll be making this week and practice.  There's also a good chance our Thursday practice will be a scrimmage vs an Issaquah teeam.
 
Reminder: practice is Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week.. starting at 5:00pm. Please have the kids there by 4:45.
 
Have a good rest of the weekend.
 
For Coaches Eric, Bill and Rob...
 
Coach Mike

Announcer and Clock Operator(s) for Eastlake Jamboree

SYFA is seeking volunteers from the Rookie - Soph teams to run the clock and announce for this weekend's jamboree from 9:00 - 12:00 (JV & Varsity are handling 12:00 - 4:00).  This would be a great opportunity for our team's volunteer announcer and game clock operator  to gain some experience prior to the first home game.  But this is open to anyone, so please let me know if any of you can provide some help.
