Union Camp starts Monday (7/25) 6:30 – 9:30pm. Try to arrive by 6:00pm. The first 2 nights will be shoulder pads and helmet.
If you still need equipment send me an email so that I can meet you monday before we go to camp.
The Modified season will begin Wednesday 9/1 at 4pm at Columbia HS. Players are to meet Coach Merhige by the front gate at Budnowski Field at 4pm. Players will go to the equipment room to get sized for equipment and then return to the field (at the conclusion of the FROSH scrimmage) to begin practice with athletic testing and practice #1. Practice will be finished by 6:15pm on the turf field.
Players need to bring water, cleats AND sneakers, and a big gym bag to keep their equipment in after it has been issued.
Practice #2 will be on Thurday at Goff Middle School from 4-6pm.
The time and location of Practice #3 for Friday 9/3 will be given to the players on Thursday 9/2 due to Coach Merhige’s wedding on Saturday 9/4.
Our football program appreciates your patience and flexibility during this time around Coach Merhige’s marriage.
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.
