A reminder – our football camp is at COHOES HIGH SCHOOL – Sunday 6/27 through Thursday 7/1.
Sunday is 4:30pm to 8:15pm and Monday is 5pm to 8:15pm. These two days are helmet and shoulder pads.
Tuesday and Wednesday are both 5pm to 8:30pm – you are in FULL PADS because it’s FULL CONTACT.
Thursday is the scrimmage day – JV (grades 9 and 10) STARTS at 4:30 and Varsity (grades 11 & 12) STARTS at 5:30.
You need a mouth piece for camp…
Traffic on I-787 and through Cohoes can be very slow – PLEASE plan accordingly.
As it is the part of summer when severe weather impacts practice and games, we had our first severe weather related incident. As a football coaching staff (we are extremely fortunate to have Ron Annis with us as our Athletic Trainer as well) we keep a constant eye to the sky. Once we see a lighting flash/strike, we get off the field and indoors as quickly as possible.
We adjust our practice plan to continue our football work indoors. As a football program, we do not return outdoors until a minimum of 35 minutes after the last flash of lightening observed.
As with today, Ron had our guys running through his ”conditioning” program in the gym. We ask that our players always have a pair of sneakers with them (as instructed by Ron on Day #1) to prepare for this. Please remind your sons to have a pair of sneakers with them each day, that they can use indoors if/when needed.
Our HS football players have been given OR are in the process of being given two (2) tickets to the Applebees Pancake Breakfast on 8/15 from 8am to 10am. Money can be returned to Coach Romanowski in the envelope you were given (please put your name on it) during the PM WEIGHT ROOM TESTING hours (starting at 6pm) 8/10 – 8/12 OR bring your money to the breakfast itself.
Coach Romanowski will have a few more tickets during the weight room hours to help out those who need more for their family and friends.
The breakfast is a great opportunity to socialize with your new teammates and many of your new coaches before the start of the season.
To those entering Grades 7 & 8, please make sure you attend the Health History Review at the CHS Health Office on Monday 8-17 from 9:30am to 12:30pm. You must do this to play football – your practice begins Monday September 1st at 3pm.
If you missed the Health History Review on Wendesday 8/5, please call the Health Office to reschedule: 207-2070. This must be done if you are entering grades 9-12 BEFORE August 17 so that you can play football.
If you are entering grades 9-12 and missed the Health History Review on Wednesday August 5, please contact the CHS Health Office to schedule your visit: 207-2070. This must be done prior to August 17 so that you can play football.
